Sparky, what forecast do you use?

I always find the BBC one more optimistic than the Spanish government one but generally less accurate. Would you agreee?

Thinking of coming over towards the end of this week but The Spanish forecast has rain on Friday and Sunday which would impact on my plans.

Hoopy, i look at a few forecasts including the BBC and AEMETes. Rain was forecast for Thursday and Friday last week but it didn't happen so i wouldn't let it stop your plans, accurate forecasting is not easy on an island .

Sparky, would you say this year has been the poorest you've known in regards to rainfall?

What do the records say?

Interesting report from the MDB :-

2018 was the third wettest year on record

Although there are not yet definitive data for December, Aemet reports that 2018 was the third wettest year since the current system of record-keeping began.

There was hardly any rain in December, meaning that 2018 has been pushed down to third. Up to the end of November, 2018 had been the second wettest year, surpassed only by 1969. Aemet says that 2018 was among the five wettest years since 1965 and the three wettest this century.

The autumn was when rainfall was at its heaviest. September had started out dry and ended with there having been 29% less rain than usual. In October, on the other hand, there was 26% more rain than normal, while November had 32% more.

The most intense rainfall was registered on 9 October - 232.8 litres per square metre in four hours were recorded at the Colonia Sant Pere weather station. This rainfall was what led to the tragic deaths of thirteen people on that day.

I would say that it has been a very wet year which has hampered the gardening work this past winter.

Judging by the level of the resevoirs when I saw them 2 weeks ago they look as if they are nearly at full capacity.

December weather stats from the MDB :-
