We will be heading for Repsol in Alacante to top up the gas tank tomorow, so that will take about 3 hours return trip 117k.

There is a Repsol Autogas station in Murcia which is closer to you than Alicante. I have not been there myself but a friend has - so it exists! Co-ordinates 37 58 27.09 N and 01 07 00.57 W - it opens 8am to 8pm weekdays and 9am to 2pm Saturdays. Phone 968 252344.

PS another fine day here in Almeria but we did have a deluge yesterday morning that flooded the site! Forecast looking good for Christmas.

Hi,
The met office issued a severe weather warning for the Bournemouth area last night, confirmed at 6.30 this morning. 9 + inches of snow, temps down to -10 with gales, giving a wind chill factor of Siberian standards. DO NOT TRAVEL !!!

We had a light flurry of snow, followed by rain. This was due to the temperature continuing to rise throughout the morning. No sign of a breeze sufficient to lift the flap of my night shirt. So its situation normal.

I had a look at that one on Google Earth and it looks tight access and there was a warning of a height barrier. Thanks for the info John, I called into Alicanti on the way down so I know that access is good.

That's cheating Tony. Oz is in it's Summer. Thanks for rubbing it in. Enjoy your stay. We should be in Goa this very moment but the wife has got her foot slung to the ceiling. Never mind. Merry Christmas Folks.

Not sure which bit of Spain you are talking about (probably the frozen north or the high plains around Madrid) but down here in Almeria it was a minimum of 12 Celcius last night and is currently 21 with clear blue skies. Bit windy though.

Same here. Didn't have any heating on yesterday. Windy today and the Med is crashing up against the sites sea wall. 18.6°c here at 13:42 local. The Thermometer on the Pharmacy in Canteras was showing 20°c when we came through at noon.

Bulgaria /weather

Sorry gents,Just going by CNN World weather,and MADRID ? forcast,i was hoping you would give a detailed acount of where you are in Spain and your temp,as you did,thank you.
According tothem (CNN) theres a long track of cold/freezing weather,stretching right across Europe,covering some of Britain/France,most of Spainand even into Maroc ?luckily it moved from us (Bulgaria ) as we had it for a week,10 days or so ago,now we have good weather for the year here,i still find it cold at 15/18c but compared to 2c or -4c its brill,hopefully it will stay like this for several months !!! and to hopefully for you too,usually if one or severalcountries have unusuallygood weather,then others ....suffer (UK).
Looking generally at the World weather,then it is 'all to cock ' or very mixed up and altered,California is either snowing or deluged by rain,Japan having much the same,many countries around the world haing 'unusual weather'.......

The weather we are getting down here in south-east Spain is fairly typical for the area. Most years, winter here is similar to summer in England (which is why there are so many Brits and other northern Europeans here!) but it is interesting to see, from a safe distance, the extremes that are being suffered elsewhere. Since we will probably be home (however briefly) for Christmas next year I hope it is not a permanent change!

 

[Deleted member 967]

Just had a look at the forecast for here. Wind speed 32 Km/h. Tomorrow is again going to be as windy but OK with but a max temp of only 10°c then for the next 5 days we have a cold snap with it getting down in the early hours to 1°c or 0°c on Monday morning in Cartegena. Highest temp for Sunday is 7°c then getting back to a max of 12°c for Tuesday and Wednesday.
