    @Victoria you were right! My sister-in-law was talking to my wife on the phone, WhatsApp, & we could hear the thunder as she was (trying) to talk!

    Where my sister-in-law lives in Spain they are at the end of a mountain range & the city is not on the plains! Our son who still lives there sent us a video of a tremendous downpour they were having not long ago.

    I first went to that town in 1972, towards the end of October & within in a week of arriving we had what they call a "Gota Fria" what we might call a "Cloudburst" . growing up in the UK I was no stranger to rain, even heavy, thundery rain, but what I saw that day gave me a new appreciation for water!:yikes: It fell in solid sheets & the streets in mere minutes became raging rivers! :yikes: :rolleyespink:

                Morning all. Well Upsy, you are nearly correct. The tiles are damp but not wet, the sky is grey with the sun peeking through, and we are under a rain and storm warning from 7 this morning to 7 this evening. The rain is still inland above us and below at the coast (not shown on your map) but may find us soon. :fingers crossed:

                Yes, @Balc, we know those cloud bursts well. Strange, 'gota fria' translates as cold drop here. But we are having a cold drop as we are 18c only going to 23c today. We only went to 26c yesterday. It is a joy!
