Murcia is on red alert

according to this we're only on orange alert, but canal 9 is the local channel & pretty reliable

Meteoalarm - Alerting Europe for extreme Weather

so maybe it's spreading



we'll be ok - our basement was flooded 2 years ago, but we've moved now

Rained most of yesterday, most of the night too. Swimming pool filling up...Managed to get in a couple of hours walk for Our Little Azor this morning before it started again....mud everywhere along the rio path.
I think the last time it rained heavily down here was sometime in March....so it makes a pleasant change.
As long as it doesn't go on too long.

Judging from xabiachica's post about "Gota Fria", which from my understanding is major, major storms, winds, rain and hail we could be in for more than we'd like !!!!!!!!!!

Hmm. Not looking forward to that. Our Little Azor demands a long (two hours at least) daily walk whatever the weather.
Is the weather where you are much different from that down here? I remember you once wrote that byou had to scrape ice off your windscreen...

I dont know!! I think its all pretty much the same with regional differences??? Being nearer the coast where you are probably means you dont get it quite as cold!???

we've had snow here a few times - not much - just enough to put a little cap on Montgo



I just saw on the news about floods in Almeria!


seems the whole coast is getting it

We arrived here last December as refugees from ice, snow and -15C temperatures so it seemed like the Equator. We never had frost the whole winter here. In January/February we had high winds, heavy rain and a couple of spectacular t-storms. Very hot here this summer. But I guess the temperature differences are minimal.
I'm looking forward to log fires this winter.
