A really serious weather warning for rain levels similar to 2012 for Alicante down to Almeria has been issued by the Government Dept for Thursday and Friday.
Be ready and make sure water can run away from your house etc.
Stay safe. ☀🌂🌂

Yes saw that this morning. No one wants the floods of 2012 again. Please God it doesn't happen. We had torrential rain here in Terreros this time last year when we were in Australia. Thankfully we had no damage done.

As Raymondo says, prepare for the worst and hopefully it won't be that bad. 🙏🏻

As with a couple of weeks ago, there is a Gota Fria forecast for the region on thursday.  I had nothing then, so wonder if it will happen this time?

AnnieM

I was thinking the same Frankie.  They've been threatening us with thunderstorms every week for 4 weeks now and, until yesterday, we've had not a drop.

Doreen

It's just started to rain here, not heavy though, thankfully.

Forecast is to dry/warm up on Sunday.

Doreen

It rained for half an hour, sun out again. My neighbour was telling me though that all classes and events are cancelled in Aguilas tomorrow because of the adverse weather.

AEMET has just put our area onto red alert for tomorrow, for storms and very heavy rainfall.
Be very careful everyone.  :tiphat:

Well got a little bit of rain in the night but now thunderstorms. The clouds were angry looking and I was sure we would get something, but nothing happened.

AnnieM

It has chucked it down here all night.  Eased off a bit just now but more to come looking at the sky.

Raymondo

Bucket loads coming tonite and tomorrow .hopefully it might miss us .
A little drop of my pal John Jameson  and I hope to sleep through it.

We had the storm yesterday evening starting around 6 pm. There seemed to be more flash flooding as we had gentle rain at our house but 2 kilometres away it was torrential. We had very little thunder and lightning.
All schools and events in Aguilas were cancelled yesterday and today Pulpi has done the same.

Did you see some of the scenes on the tv. The man getting into his car as the water was raging down the hill should have been slapped. It's a bloody car, let it go. 😡
Then the people whose homes have been flooded, it's heartbreaking.

Thunder storms , lightning and torrential rain all night.
Still raining this morning hopeJudi gets back ok as Alicante Airport was closed yesterday.

Think Alicante airport is open today but Almeria airport is closed, some roads are closed due to flooding so don't think the journey from Alicante will be easy
