Re: Weather forecast
Sticker says it all. Terrible rains, lots of water (again) and high speed winds. Temps about the same as your night minimums.
Humidity 100%. Quite pleasureful, but if only it was 20°C warmer.

Re: Weather forecast
Just had another punishing thunderstorm, been raining since last night. My Calla liliees are all lying flat, my hibiscus blooms look like I put them in the dishwasher. Going out now to check that my fish from the pond are not all over the lawn.

Re: Weather forecast
Seweryn, Jack and Ante - I hope none of those terrible storms from France have come your way - the last thing you need is more rain when the ground is still saturated or flooded.

Re: Weather forecast
Cold, windy and rainy..... above 1400 m. is snowing...
The forecast is good for the next days.... the artic stream that caused rain and the drop of temperatures is leaving so, we can reasonably expect a slow comeback of summer here.... |

Re: Weather forecast
The weather in Greece is also significally cooler then last week and also cooler then normal.
Last week we had a heat wave with temps between 35 - 37 ° C during the day and lows of 25° C at night. Friday it started to cool down with thunderstorms and rain all days untill yesterday. Now it's about 10 °C colder during the day and night compared to last week. Normal weather should be between last weeks and this weeks temperatures. I know even current temps may sound like paradise for you guys in Central and Northern Europe, but anyway it's too cold for this period of the year. Daily mean temps in June should be around 24 ° C, the last days were only 20 - 21 ° C. Last week we had mean temps of 29 ° C.

Re: Weather forecast
Part of this erratic climate , could it be a consequence of Volcano's eruption in Iceland ?
I've heard that the ash shot in the stratosphere by the volcano could affect europe's temperatures for a long period... |

Re: Weather forecast
Today's forecast for Rome is 26° celsius max (16 celisus min at night) sunny and low humidity due to north-western moderate winds.
Hi pressure is slowly coming back to Italy from Spain and is pushing east the low pressure associated to clouds and rain.... Actually The cloud front should have passed over croatia going East.... So my friends, Dalmatiansoap should experience a change for good fo the weather but beware of a moderate to strong western wind.... Jack Daw instead should prepare to bear the brunt of the bad weather front going straight toward central europe.... I see also another front passing over Ireland and UK going east toward Scandinavia... Summer is crawling slowly in Europe.. let's hope that things continue to get better. Bye Rick |
