Is the rain stopped yet

No rain at present in Almeria. Forecast is good.

Nope, not in Benidorm anyway. That picture was only taken about two hours ago. Due to go off about 10 tonight. Yipeeeee! Thinking about going to the cinema tonight ( to stay off the bevy if nothing else.

Police have just been round and told us to move as the river is rising,getting near the top of the banks towards town. Now parked on the road by the seafront high rise flats,wind still howling,rain coming in squalls.

Is the rain stopped yet

It had stopped this morning but it's pi$$ing down again now. Due to brighten up over the next few days. C'est la vie eh? We've got plenty of food, beer and wine and the WiFi has come back on, we've got plenty of books and it's toasty in the van so we're not complaining. They needed the rain here but no doubt the farmers will say it's the wrong kind of rain, as they do.

Makes me realise that we had it easy - a bit of water and mud and that was it. I feel very sorry for those who had a real problem.

I recall the torrential rain in 2012 that devastated parts of Almería and Vera Playa in particular, resulting in streets becoming rivers.

This was nothing in comparison to the floods of 1973 around Albox -

The torrent in the 2nd video is normally a rambla or dried up river bed and is used for parking cars at the weekly market!

The sun is out, the sky is completely blue, the air is calm and the water has gone - this is more like it!

 

[5andy]

Yup. It's like someone has switched worlds overnight.

Happy for all you Snowbirds and residents. Another month and I'll be there. Hopefully all dries out by then!

We got to Aquilas last night late and we had a little rain driving down but not much. Woke up to glorious sunshine this morning , maybe the weather has turned. Hope so.

 

[iampatman]

Its a lovely day today after the horrendous weather we've had over the last 4/5 days but at least we didn't have it as bad as the poor folk nearly 30 years ago

Went to the garage just outside Aguilas to empty and fill everything , only 2 euros . And noticed they have now got a site attached. Proper security, toilets showers and launderette. So booked in for 2 nights before trekking down to Tarifa. Thought other might be interested.
