It may have spoilt some people's holidays but the rain we have had this month has eased the drought situation in this region of Spain.
An average of 72.3 l /m3 - a third of all the rain we've had in the last seven months - fell in May.
The areas that have had the most rain are the Plateau, the start of the Segura, Abanilla, Benferri and Albatera with an average of 150l/m3.
On the other hand, the Mar Menor, Almeria and the Vegas Baja and Media only had between 20 and 50l/m3 of rain.
In spite of all this, the dams of the River basin of the Segura are only at 20 percent capacity, with 230 hm3, which is 22 hm3 less than in the same period last year.
So the situation, although better, is still delicate for this summer.
