Title: Storms?
Post by: frankie on 10 Aug, 2019, 12:34:30 pm: Looking at forecast for next week - monday night into tuesday, morning we have a strong chance of thunder, lightning and heavy rain. Am I the only one hoping this will happen? I'm quite happy to forgo a night's sleep for this. The ground up here is either set like concrete or dust.

A day of nice steady rain would be perfect.

Post by: jimmymac on 13 Aug, 2019, 01:57:30 pm: Lower temperatures but higher humidity rainfall would be welcome!

Post by: AnnieM on 13 Aug, 2019, 02:45:00 pm: It would be welcome, but looking at the forecast, after today, big bright suns and no clouds!

Dead to think what my water bill will be this quarter, as my garden is soaking it up....

Post by: Marcus on 27 Aug, 2019, 08:33:29 pm: Indeed Drax. Very quick low pressure areas can quickly occur leading to a depression.

Yes, Frankie seven years ago the low depression circled over parts of Almeria. I remember my colleagues near the Palms in Urcal nearly lost their lives.

One street in Madrid had cars going down a street on hailstones. The Balearic islands got hit today.
