Perhaps they are also looking to 'share' the sadness they feel as their own home(s) (wherever they are) have lost a bunch of money.

We are in arguably a bad position as both the UK and Spain are in big trouble - I believe. The UK with our big debts will be the last major Euro economy to come out of recession (according to IMF) and Spain has 1:6 unemployment - the highest - according to the EU a couple of weeks ago.

I feel no glee that people are losing money - and I am surprised at how deep and dangerous this crisis is. People losing work, pension values and even homes.

At the same time I feel we are very fortunate: To be able to live in a great home in a beautiful 'corner of the world'. We've already had so much fun there. Ive lost more money on some investments - made more on others.... but this is one I can use and have a great time in - rather than looking at a PC screen with, perhaps, a lot of red on it.

Whatever the actual property values are - if we can still maintain and visit 2 homes, in these troubled times, and one is in CE - we are the lucky ones!

End of gospel according to Jon!!

Have you tried the Spanish Met office site? Methinks they might have an idea of what is really going on rather than second, third or fiftieth hand sites.

And one thing that will please all you 'Club Esuri' types is that...there is an option in English in case the symbols confuse.

Try it ...you might like it: www.aemet.es
