Tenerife Weather

Prof, you must be getting some now surely? It's throwing it down with us and the met sites are saying the whole of Arona is getting some ...

I've just phoned to order a curry and was told they couldn't promise a delivery due to the bad weather and tailbacks on the TF-1 caused by several crashes near Los Cristianos.  I'm going to take advantage while there's a break in the rain to run down for a pizza instead

Yes, had another shower 

But it won't reach the roots.

We had to drive up to Santa Cruz this morning and I was astounded to see there was no more snow on Teide!  That was around 11.00.

The old saying is "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky at morning, shepherd's warning", and if this morning is anything to go by, the forecasters could be right when they talk about a "significant amount" of rain tomorrow. The forecast lasts for the whole of next week, indeed, and a yellow alert is already in place between today and Tuesday: as ever, this could be extended into the latter part of the week, or increased to orange level. For the moment, it's calm, and that sky really is beautiful ...

The Canarian Government has released an advice sheet for heavy rains ...  HERE (HERE is the English version). They stress that despite the forecast, schools remain open. JA

Surprised.  Normally they close them at the threat of a drop.

Where I grew up we had regular bad, deep snow and I can count on one hand the number times school was closed.  Not only that, we had to walk 5 miles uphill in both directions without any mittens or boots.
