El tiempo malo

Just what has happened to the weather here in Spain? By June it is supposed to be settled with hot sunny days and warm dry nights. Instead we seem to be getting intermittent cloud covering and rain. Just when you'd expect to be able to pack your trousers away until Autumn, the temperature drops and you have to get them out again.

Worse still, the social calendar here is based on being able to organise events outside without fear of getting a soaking. One of our neighbours had organised a party outside for Saturday and was blessed with clear blue skies and warm sunshine all day. If the party had been organised for Sunday instead, the guests would have needed umbrellas and coats.

The forecast is for more rain today (it is actually pouring down now as I write), cloud on Tuesday morning and then sunshine for the rest of the week. So if you're planning to hang out washing, it's probably best to wait until Wednesday when you should get a good drying day.
