Spanish Weather

Things have been somewhat different regarding the weather today.........we woke up to snow. Throughout the day we´ve had snow, sleet, rain, back to snow. At approximately 6 p.m. we had fairly heavy rain and a very noisy and bright thunderstorm, which at this present time is still continuing. I have one extremely panicky little dog, I doubt I´ll get much sleep tonight.

Good Heavens! And they were saying on our news we've had the warmest year ever, all over the World.

Re: Spanish Weather

Not at all what we have come to expect with your photos Loretta How unusual to see palms in the snow too ....

Take care when you're out and about, it looks pretty but is treacherous under foot.

Re: Spanish Weather

And I thought, ' the rain in Spain etc'

Re: Spanish Weather

It certainly wasn´t, still isn´t, warm here today Tiffany. It´s varied between 3 and 5 degrees. It´s also caused some confusion with a few people, myself included. We´ve had red lights shaped like snowflakes on the car dashboards. Some of us had no idea what this light was and thought there was something wrong with the car. The man at our local garage said his phone never stopped this morning, people saying they had a strange red light on the dashboard that didn´t go off. We are not used to low temperatures that cause these snowflake warning lights to come into operation.

It was certain a shock this morning to wake up to snow coming down Mags. Our Spanish neighbours said they had never seen it snow like this on the coast before. The beaches were white over this morning. All I could think was thank goodness we have central heating. It´s only the second time in the 17 years (this week) we have been here that we´ve had the heating on all day. Now we have rain, thunder and lightning.

Re: Spanish Weather

Well we do have the rain now, but on the coast as well as the plain.

Re: Spanish Weather

Does it ever get cold enough to ice your pool over, Loretta?

Re: Spanish Weather

I don´t think so Mags. I´ve never heard of a pool icing over. We did have some frost one night years ago, at least I presume it was frost, there was ice on a wet mop I´d left outside. It can be very cold at times in the winter months, but today was the lowest temperature I think we have had. As I came out of San Miguel this afternoon the farmacia thermometer was reading 3 degrees, but by the time the traffic lights changed it had gone to 5 degrees.
