Woke yesterday to see clouds way down at the coast in the direction of Almeria, as the day went on the clouds got closer, the early morning breeze became a gusty wind, it felt cooler although it was still 28° but there must have been a 'wind chill factor' as for the first time for days we ate indoors last night.
Checked the forecast and oh dear! The north of Spain has weather warnings of heavy rain and 'tormentas' and that doesn't need translating, high winds and heavy rain. The north east has all that plus 'deshielos' which is thawing, melting snow probably, from the Pyrenees - and then the coastal areas of Murcia, Almeria and Granada have high winds and high seas!
In the middle here, still gusty, much cooler last night down from 24 overnight to 16, easier to sleep but not good for seedlings which have really struggled this year as the temperature keeps yo-yo-ing.
We were having a drink with a neighbour on Sunday evening - the Paco that has the goats and rabbits, also a dog and a cat and now 3 kittens - did we want one, they will make good ratters....anyway apart from wondering why his mostly absent neighbour can grow cherries and apricots when he can't, despite working every day on his land, he said that this year has been so up and down that the plants don't know what to do and the weather will do what it wants and that every year is different.
'But this is definitely not normal'. If we had a euro for every time we've been told that over the last 10 years, we'd be very rich by now!
The only good thing about clouds is the amazing colour of the sunset. Got this last night just before the sun disappeared.
great photo Vicky. Much the same here, but with out the highs and sunshine, seems the weather is a bit crazy all over europe
