Re: Spanish Weather

Most certainly a different view for us, it looks pretty enough from indoors looking out, but I can live quite happily without seeing snow.

Re: Spanish Weather

So this is why I have not had my sister phoning me and irritating me about her nice warm weather and her lazing out on her sun lounger.lol
Perhaps I should skype her and wind her up..
Then again 3 to 5 degrees is still better than -3 degrees.

Re: Spanish Weather

The news this morning had a report about the high price of "greens" imported from Spain because of the bad weather there.

Re: Spanish Weather

Not sure where you are Clumsy but here on the the Sol no snow but cold for us 6 to 8 degrees and it has started raining and it is forecast rain for the next week
But the snow with you wow and that pillock IDS said we don't need the winter fuel allowance

Re: Spanish Weather

This morning, and all through the night, we have sleet/rain and it´s bitterly cold. I haven´t checked the temperature yet, but according to the weather reports it´s 7 degrees, I think it´s lower than that, but I haven´t been outside to check our various devices. I believe in Javea and around that area it´s snowing again.

I´m Costa Blanca south Vaniy, usually reputed to have the best climate in Europe, just not at the present time.

It has been very bad for many "growers" Rhosyn, crops have been ruined in some areas. We had horrendous storms a few weeks ago and now many areas in parts of Spain have had heavy snow falls.

If you are interested Vaniy you can get a better picture of weather conditions on the police web site or facebook page. It´s simply called N332 and is excellent for information on just about everything.

edited to add:

Just checked our little area, we have 4 degrees. The bikini won´t be coming out today.

Re: Spanish Weather

Thanks for that Clumsy put in favorites

Just come in from shopping Mercadona (Sings song) snow on the hills at the back of us it very rarely gets this far down don't think I will go in the pool today

Re: Spanish Weather

We now have a howling gale, rain lashing down, freezing cold, thunder and lightning and a little dog trembling like a jelly. I'm going to put the heating on and do nothing all day.

Re: Spanish Weather

Whereabouts are you?
Did the recent flooding affect you?

@ clumsy......never seen snow on the coast either......does look nice.

did the schools close?
Was the airport sent spiralling into chaos?
Trains and buses running 6 hours late? Etc

Re: Spanish Weather

My sister lives near Antequera and it's snowing there!

Re: Spanish Weather

Come on Tpin, I'm sure you know trains never run late here, only in exceptional circumstances. I don't know about elsewhere in Spain, where they have lots of snow, but no, the schools here didn't close and I haven't heard of any problems at the airports.

Yes we did get the horrendous storms 3 or 4 weeks back. Murcia airport had to close for a while due to flooding and some roads were closed due to flooding. Crops were lost and there was a lot of damage caused, especially on the beaches, where walkways and chiringuitos were destroyed.
However, despite what some people say, the Spanish are far from being lazy and within a few days most things were repaired, cleaned up and back to normal. We are lucky, we live on a hill and although the rain runs down like a river, it doesn't come into our property.

I haven't been out today, so far, the weather is horrendous, but no doubt there are floods again and damage, and no doubt, as usual, it will be sorted and fixed without a huge fuss.

Re the snow, According to many reports it has been 91 years since there was anything more than a quick snow flurry around here.

The good thing is that no matter how bad the weather is, we know it will stop and spring and summer will come.
