Can it get worse?

This 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.
