There have certainly been some awful weather conditions throughout the peninsula. Luckily where I am in Huelva, all is calm and it has been quite mild. Think it's going to rain tomorrow though.

Also near Sevilla and according to friends in Chiclana we are getting away lightly compared to the northern and eastern parts of spain. So far 6 dead from storms yesterday but if we didn't watch the news we wouldn't know how bad it is up country.

Re: Whats the weather like ?????????
Here in Javea we spent part of the day with all the persianas down because of flying roof tiles
some actually did fly into our open galeria - just missing one of the bedroom windows before we pulled the persianas down- good job the cat wasn't out there 'doing her business' - she was freaked out enough as it was
I haven't been on the roof yet to see what damage there is - still way too windy - but judging by the amount of terracotta on the ground I'm glad I don't live on the top floor & hope it doesn't rain soon (for those that do)
in the garden of the ground floor flat their huge garden table was just lifted up & dropped again - leaving it wrecked
a tree opposite has almost been uprooted & has lost at least one big branch which we saw flying down the road when we peeped out for a while
Oh - and I don't live anywhere remotely remote - if you see what I mean - we're in the middle of the port!
wind still gusting around the 55km/h mark & temp has dropped to about 13 degrees
yesterday the wind was gusting up to around 90km/h but it was much warmer at 22 degrees even at 7am!

Re: Whats the weather like ?????????
Hondón Valley has been bad (Near Alicante). High Winds, no rain, been terrible for a few days, but worse yesterday.... broken tiles, fences down, garden furniture all over, pots smashed, etc... We had no Electricity for nearly 24 hours !! So last night it a candles, which was quite romantic (despite the howling gales outside).
But this morning very quiet and the pool is as still as still can be! I hope it's now gone and the Sunshine is back.

that's what I thought when I first got up - nice & peaceful
but the wind's up around 70km/h again
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the schools are shut tomorrow

Re: Whats the weather like ?????????
You'll all be saddened to know that the erection has suffered damage in the winds, and one of the retaining wires has broken so the roofing is flapping about a bit. No tiles lost, wind is a little less but still gusting
