Worst day of the ‘Winter’

Last week we had temperatures in the mid 20s and out of the wind it felt very warm, unusually so for April. Now this! At the time of writing we have had over 25mm of rain (the wettest day since November) and since ‘sunrise’ the temperature has barely risen above 12C. There were no days like this during December, the 16th of January was similar to today, and although Febuary had some colder days early in the month at least it was sunny!! To make matters worse, sea temperatures are lower than through the winter. Up in the mountains it has been snowing steadily through the day and there’s a good fresh layer of snow at the resorts. Good news for the ski companies maybe? But no, operations closed down on 15th April and skiiing has ceased!!

Can it get worse?

p1030878This Autumn and Winter has, so far, been unusually cold and wet in Malaga Province. Admittedly, the weather hasn’t been as severe as in some other parts of southern Europe (there’s a carpet of snow in Madrid at this very moment), but yesterday it snowed in Alhaurin again! The area had some quite heavy snow at the end of November, and there was a frost last night in most inland areas. Even on the beach in Malaga the temperature fell to 2.9 Celsius (37F). What has made it worse has been the biting wind. Many houses down here are not built for cold weather, and the tiled floors seem to radiate cold like an open fridge. Could it get worse? Well, yes it could. On January 16th 1985 the temperature fell close to minus 3 Celsius (27F) at Malaga Airport. Hopefully, after this weekend it will warm up again with the weather returning to normal. We’ve already had 84mm of rain, and that’s already above the monthly average. Has the winter anything else left to throw at us? Hmm.
