So much water, where does it come from?

 I hardly need to tell you, we are in a spell of heavy rainfall AGAIN!

When I woke at about 6am, I could hear the rain outside.

When I later got up and looked out the window, the pool was full to the brim.

In the picture below you can see the culprit, that heavy band of cloud that is passing over the southern coast

We know from past episodes that intense rain is often very localised and whilst we may be deluged, down the road it could be almost dry.

There are videos on Facebook today showing flooded roads in Torrevieja so we can assume that the coast got the brunt of the heaviest downfalls. In fact, Torrevieja is described as "in chaos" with roads and schools closed.
