By Thursday afternoon a GoFundMe campaign had already raised over $21,000 to be used "for the reconstruction of this paradise," the GoFundMe page said.

Zipolite Diverso, a group of over 30 LGBTQ-owned and LGBTQ-inclusive small businesses, organized the fundraiser to address such immediate needs as food and water and to help the community rebuild in coming months.

"None of us were expecting to have such a large response," said Ricky Castellanos, one of the fundraiser's organizers and the owner of a bed-and-breakfast that was damaged in the storm.

Castellanos said the donations could help "provide sustainable services to people who won't be able to get back on their feet right away."

The group raised its fundraising goal to $50,000 from $10,000, saying on its website the damage was huge.

"Thanks to all, Zipolite will come back, and stronger," it added.

Zipolite is famous for being one of Mexico's few nude beaches and has become increasingly popular in recent years with LGBTQ tourists attracted to the town's laid-back attitude.

The popularity boom has strained the water supply and other services and has at times caused tensions between tourists and locals.

"We're organizing this as members of the LGBTQ community, but the aid will be directed to those who need it the most, whether they're part of the community or not," said Thomas Flechel, an artist, business owner and coordinator of Zipolite Diverso.

On social media, the fundraiser was being shared far beyond Mexico's borders.

Tristan McAllister, a brand strategist and podcast host in New York who has visited Zipolite since he was a child, said he had donated to the campaign so the community "can keep on creating the best possible place for the people that need it the most."

"This is a place that young, queer Mexicans need. It's a one-of-a-kind place for Mexico and for the world," McAllister said.

Exceptionally cold conditions persisted across South America earlier this week. The conditions were alarming at the northern extent with unseasonably low temperature anomalies recorded as far north as the Tropics.

The intensity of the cold brought rare May frosts to low levels across parts of Uruguay and Chile. On 31 May in Santiago, Chile, temperatures fell to -2.1C, the lowest May temperature recorded since 1969, and while this is exceptionally cold for the time of year, many periphery areas outside the main metropolitan city would have been several degrees colder. The cold wave was present across South America for almost a week but is gradually coming to an end through this weekend with warmer conditions returning. However, this event has marked the first shot of polar air for the start of the southern hemisphere winter season.

By contrast, France had its hottest May on record, with an average May temperature of 17.76C, an increase of almost 0.8C from the previous record of 16.96C in 2011. This May record is largely due to the intense heatwave experienced through the middle of the month, when temperatures widely exceeded 30C.

Hurricane Agatha, the first Pacific hurricane of the season, made landfall on Monday 30 May just west of Puerto Angel, as a category 2 hurricane bringing recorded winds of 105mph, the strongest hurricane to make landfall in May since records began in 1949. The severity was largely due to warmer than normal seas surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Pacific Ocean, which acted to fuel and intensify the development of the hurricane. Typically, SSTs tend to be cooler in May than during peak hurricane season, therefore normally limiting hurricane development during May. Having gained momentum, a trough of low pressure to the north dipped southwards, which then drew Hurricane Agatha towards the coast of Mexico.

Once the hurricane made landfall it weakened into a remnant low as it tried to cross the mountainous terrain of southern Mexico. The intense rain associated with the low triggered landslides and flash flooding, affecting mountainous regions the most. The remnants of Agatha will become more organised and strengthen as it pushes north-eastwards towards Florida this weekend, likely bringing intense and persistent rain alongside a significant risk of flooding.

MEXICO CITY, June 3 (Reuters) - When Hurricane Agatha battered a Mexican beach hamlet popular with LGBTQ residents and visitors earlier this week, members of the community sprang into action to help the town rebound.

Zipolite, located on the enchanting southern Pacific coast of Oaxaca state, found itself directly in the path of the storm on Monday. The storm touched down only about six miles (10 kilometers) west of the town as a Category 2 hurricane, damaging buildings and filling the beach with debris. read more

The death toll caused by Hurricane Agatha in Mexico fell to nine after initial reports of 11 dead, state authorities said on Wednesday.

Another four are currently missing, authorities told local media.

Agatha made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane on Monday afternoon, touching down with 105 mile-per-hour (169km per hour) winds near the beach town of Puerto Angel on the Pacific coast, before dissipating on Tuesday as it moved inland.

The governor of Mexico's southern state of Oaxaca, Alejandro Murat, had said on Wednesday morning that 11 were dead and 33 missing following the storm.

State authorities said many of the missing were found after contact was reestablished with Oaxaca's remote communities.

Oaxaca's governor said the tallies of dead and missing were preliminary, and urged people to remain alert.

“It's important the entire population remains safe. There's a likelihood of landslides and river flooding,” Murat said, speaking by video link at a regular government news briefing.

The US National Hurricane centre said on Wednesday morning there was an 80% chance that a cyclone would form in the Atlantic from Agatha's remnants in the next 48 hours.

“This system is likely to become a tropical depression while it moves northeastward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico during the next couple of days,” the Miami-based agency said.
