So is it Gota Fria or is that still to come?

it does, doesn't it?

Tuesday not so bad so far - dd2 is going to a party & they have a bouncy castle - I know the house is pretty big, but I doubt they'll have room for it indoors, so lets hop it doesn't rain!

I wonder if the Spanish are as 'fixated' about the weather as us Brits.

I heard on the radio this afternoon that the CdS is expected to get very heavy rain from the north tomorrow - the skies in that direction are already rather cloud-laden. Still, to be boring, we need it... (though my verandah roof doesn't:eek:

I doubt that you will get rain tomorrow - Sat/Sun looks more likely.

Been told that what we have had and are still going thru is gota fria.

It has rained heavily and mostly with horrible storms for over a week.

It has a real pattern and we have learnt to tell the time of day by it.

The worst is when we are driving - can be scary.

Would like to see a whole day of sun.:(

Every year I've been here we've had something - heat, rain, hail, snow, wind, sun... and every time it's more [ ]ier than it's ever been according to the Spanish. Not fixated, but they do moan a lot about the weather!

Spain gets more intense weather than Britain. More intense heat, more rain in a short space of time, more snow etc (depending where you are). And people die when there is extreme weather which is why it makes the news.

Two people died recently in the intense rain and floods around Jaen, they were swept away in their cars

I think that's right - the weather is more intense

I certainly don't remember anything like 'yellow pre-emergency' 'orange pre-emergency' 'red emergency' being on the weather reports as a matter of course in the UK


our green 'sense risc' has been upgraded to yellow 'risc' today - and I was woken up by the cat freaking out at the huge thunder clap a while ago:eek:

A foggy start to the day in England, with sun to follow. Indian summer forecast for most of the coming week, to compensate for another dismal summer.
