Roads cut off again. Houses in Manilva and sabanillas flooded. Who doesn't have rain? Almeria and the CB perhaps?

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

we're flooded in and the river has burst it banks again in Alhaurin de la Torre

raining here again - luckily we're about 40' above the river, we use a bridge to get to our drive from the road and it's OK at the moment but the bridge for the next house down the road is under water and they have a goat farm so somehow the milk tanker will need to get over later today!

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Chiclana here in Cadiz is flooded out. You need a boat to get about.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

It often does. The twice I've been there in winter it's snowed.

Here in the Campo de Gibraltar it's persisting down.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Yeah.... Dartmoor.... ironically!

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

The rain in Spain falls again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again etc. :frown:

Would someone kindly turn the huge tap in the sky off!? Otherwise I'm going to start growing webbing between my hands and feet!

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Not from Norfolk are you?

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

They should be running out of clouds by now......

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

No rain here :) Had my washing out today on the line and it's all nice and dry :thumbsup:

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

As I said in another thread, all my fault for topping the pool up after I let too much out after the last week's inundation:blink:


:frown: Nowt wrong with 'em Matt, I speak as one who's lived there AND the Forest of Dean:ohmy: Go figure!

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Nope, absolutely, and in the Great Flood they will out last us all....

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

The sun was shining ......................... in Aberdeen :rofl:

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

no rain here today either.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

It's across the whole of Spain - it does seem worse in the west as they get the worst of the Atlantic storms which are now tracking further south than usual, which is giving us this unusual weather.

There is no sign on the long range forecasts (15 days at best) that there is any change in sight.

Until the basic weather pattern, like the location of the Jet Stream, which is unusually far to the south, changes significantly, we are in for a further period of typical UK weather - rain on and off every few days.

At least it is warm rain (compared to the UK).

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Not by this weather site it is not.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Are you spreading your "it doesnt rain in Galicia" propaganda again?! :D

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Maybe not at the moment but over the period of a few days it's raining across all of Spain.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Fred I will wait for that but by a few do you mean two or three?

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

No rain amazingly in Asturias.....been quite dry this past week.

Honest!

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

No, make that a week.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Dry, but what about that "hurricane" you had.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Vejer, and the sky is CHUCKING it down. Slips down the hillsides, water running across the roads, the fields are a lagoon, and the river hasn't seen its banks in yonks.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

My 5th day without rain in Galicia since January 6th :)

Not that I'm saying it rains lots here, or anything. This year could be the exception of course. Then again, they wouldn't build drains this big just for the odd wet year :rofl:

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

not raining here, although it was forecast & certainly looked like it would

rain is forecast through til Tuesday - so there's still time

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Casa Santa Estevo swears blind that it doesnt rain much in Galicia

Even though the stats say it rains 1500-2000mm year in Galicia on average compared to about 800mm in London (for example), or 500mm in Malaga

And that I spent a holiday there in June and it didnt stop raining day or night for 4 days.

Apparently I was in the "wrong part of Galicia" :rofl: i.e. I went to the whole North and West coasts

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

So what part of Galicia are you talking about?
Galicia is about 30000 km2
London is about 1500 km2
And the city (or are you talking about the province?) of Malaga is 550 km2
They are hardly comparable with each other for a number of reasons.
I have challenged you before to show me a link to these statistics you are quoting, but they seem, to be like the proverbial climate change evidence; in reality they do not exist.

Nowhere have I stated it does not rain much. But I will say it rains less here inland than on the northwest edge of Galicia, for example in the cities of A Coruña or Santiago.

And for the Lost's information here is your weather for the next week:
http://www.eltiempo.es/santiago-de-compostela.html
dipped out again tomorrow but then a whole week without the displeasing rain!

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

Do you remember the of the summer of 76 when the UK was basking in the sun for weeks.
I was in Viveiro IT P1SSED DOWN.:thumbdown:

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

I for one have had enough trying to cheer up my visitors (who arrived last Saturday to stay for three weeks) telling them "oh, it should be fine tomorrow"! (Dream on...) There's only so much you can do when it's chucking it down! Costa de la Lluvia more like... This has the potential to do serious damage to a tourist trade that is already suffering, especially if it is repeated next year.

But that's the least of our worries... how people can nay-say climate change is beyond me. Every week a new dramatic weather statistic is claimed: rainiest winter on record, driest summer for however many years, warmest February, etc. It is also believed that changes in the world's weather and climate may trigger earthquakes, landslides and volcanic activity in the future (I have a link to a New Scientist article if anyone is interested). I'm not saying that this rainy winter is DUE to climate change, but it is a worrying sign that things are starting to go haywire, and no-one quite knows what could happen. Sobering stuff...

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

But its alway the wettest, snowiest, coldest, hottest etc for x amount of years - so it has happened before, none of its new cos it happened x amount of years ago, obviously!! I think due to the media, world communications and our knowledge, we're simply more aware of whats happening everywhere, but its always happened. The world has always changed from day to day, year to year, milllenium to millenium and so on. Its nothing new!

In fact what fortunately hasnt happened for a good few thousand years is a real earth quake - one that actually moves continents - even thats happened before. so who could we possibly blame? I'm sure if theres anyone around to talk about it in the media they'll blame us for eaving our standby buttons on! What us humans dont like is that we have no control over the earth and its strange and random ways!

It`s the end of the world I tell you, pm me all your €`s now.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

It's our wedding anniversary today and we thought about some time in Spain, but one look at the weather quickly knocked that idea on the head!:) So in a couple of hours we'll be driving up to spend 3/4 days in a nice 4* hotel in UK instead, and I doubt I'm the only one doing that. Only one problem, it's wall to wall sunshine here and I'll be driving right into the sun! :)

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

That was a bloody quick week:frown: Some rain over night, but only gotas. so hardly enough for floods.
That weather site(elteimpo) is useless. Anybody know of one which is more reliable. Either in English or Spanish.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

At times like this I wonder if I did the right thing selling up in the Canaries.
After enduring no end of weather related problems due to snow, ice and mucho agua in the UK and Scandinavia, I eventually make it to Spain thinking the Winter must now be over and all will be sunshine and roses.
However on arrival I find the wind has blown down the chimney, in turn damaging some tiles before going through the garage roof which in turn is by now flooded out.
So first things first,patch up the house roof and wait for the insurance to sort the rest.
Meantime along comes the friendly neighbourhood satellite man,tramping and hammering all over the house roof while fitting a dish, and next day my son kindly informs me that its the first time he has been able to lie in bed and have a cold shower at the same time.
Even worse the house tiles are long ago out of production,obsolete and no spares can be had anywhere

It never rains but what it precipitates quite heavily.:(

If you are happy reading weather charts try

http://ows.public.sembach.af.mil/ind...ection=SFCProg

It's the US Air Force site.

If you want some serious stuff try this one - it's in German though.

Re: Is there anywhere it isn't raining
 

I don't think "Wetterzentrale" sounds to promising somehow.

Seems to me its wet enough already!..:thumbdown:
