It's Raining at last!
 

Just been out doing a dance around the terrace as it is finally raining. I can hear my plants sucking it in. :thumbsup: looks to be set in for the day too.

I never thought I'd be so happy to see rain this time last year :rofl:

Re: It's Raining at last!
 

not here it isn't - but we do have some forecast

apparently there's a cold front sitting in the Gulf of Cádiz - which by Friday might just collide with another coming from the north, right on my doorstep

that collision will maybe then crash into the warm moisture from the Med............ perfect conditions for a Gota Fría :eek:

I hope it just rains..........

Re: It's Raining at last!
 

The Gota Fria has already hit,.........England.
Very similar conditions and result with two weather fronts meeting.
Both main road and rail link to Scotland cut off for a while yesterday.
Lots of folk evacuated and floods all over the place.
Worst for three decades according to the news.
Couldn't even get to my local market town yesterday just a couple of miles away.

I've just walked through the pouring rain and into the pool - very nice!

As Dick mentions, it's been one of the worst summers as regards rain in the UK for a long time. Maybe now the rain will head south to Spain and we can have an Indian summer in Blighty.:fingerscrossed:

Indian summer in Blighty:rofl::rofl: Funny how local sayings get tossed around the world.:nod:

Re: It's Raining at last!
 

yes I've heard :(

it seems that the weather has gone crazy everywhere

Re: It's Raining at last!
 

Yes, looking grim, I feel for those affected. We´re lucky where we are, we´ve been in this house over 30 years and never been flooded, we´ve had rain but certainly not in the biblical proportions that some seem to have had. I've only driven locally the last few days and certainly no roads closed here. I wonder how some people in vulnerable areas manage with insurance, do they become uninsurable at some point?

Re: It's Raining at last!
 

Speaking of the weather,it's raining here in Swansea but we have had nothing compared to other parts of the UK!

How is the weather in CDS at the moment?

My wife and I fly out to Benalmadena on Sunday hoping for some sun!!!

Re: It's Raining at last!

Rain, it's that wet stuff that falls from the sky, isn't it?

Re: It's Raining at last!
 

Depends if people live above you :)

Re: It's Raining at last!
 

Well the Citizens of Spain have already been p!ssed upon from a great height for quite a few years now, so maybe the good Lord above believes they need a break from it.

Re: It's Raining at last!
 

They wanted independence, now they know what it will be like.
:rofl:

However, many people in Scotland and Northern England are complaining that flood measures promised 4-5 years ago still havent even started.

Can see many insurance claims being rejected with the red pen.

the dog was due a walk, he got to the front door looked at me with a "you have to be joking" and went back indoors.
