Rain isn't bad. We have a drought, rain is good.

Re: Bad weather on the way !
It is very warm and humid here on the Algarve coast.
The locals have pulled their boats well away from the beach in expectation of high wavex.

Can't complain about rain - and yes, when it rains in the Alentejo, it rains

Oh dear, I'm in the Pink! (well, purple)
Never even heard of "purple alert" before, worse than Red!

By all accounts it's going to be "The grandmother & grandfather " off storms.
I'm in a green zone , but still put a few lose things under cover, just to be on the safe side.
No matter what zone your in be careful , I've seen a few stinkers here, but never one as bad as they are predicting

Slightly breezy up here in the far north with intermittent soft rain. Very cloudy with some thunder.
If we don't get good rain soon we will have water restrictions.

Heavily overcast and a bit breezy, but nothing like last week - YET.
Weather can change in five minutes, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed as I take the dogs for a walk!

Re: Bad weather on the way !
To be honest, it was by Scottish standards "a wee blow". 
That said, the trees etc are not used to it so it has an affect, few trees blown over today on way to work and river level up a good bit. Pissing down right now, hope it now heads over to Spain!
