A heavy shower for 10 minutes at 2.15pm, on an otherwise sunny day.

[DaveW]

We didn't get that on the golf course Steve

[Captain Sensible]

No rain yet in Caleta.

The forecast doesn't look good, with the Yellow Alert extended into Friday, for both rain and storms: http://www.aemet.es/en/eltiempo/prediccion/municipios/antigua-id35003

[DaveW]

Nice at moment, lull before the storm no doubt

[Captain Sensible]

A rain shower at 1.45pm and a 25 minute one at 2.45pm.

I've just found my coat at the back of the wardrobe - just in case I need it

[Ronnietheblue]

Hope it doesn't get too bad, I know you need the rain, but hopefully without too much disruption

[DaveW]

Managed to get out for my afternoon pint without getting too wet

[Ronnietheblue]

Alky

[Captain Sensible]

Rain showers continue.

The Alert is up to ORANGE for rainfall tomorrow.

[DaveW]

Don't like this weather

[Captain Sensible]

Not too bad overnight in Caleta.  The paths and roads are drying up so there wasn't too much rain.
Some blue sky at 8am this morning, with black cloud out at sea and to the south.

[Ronnietheblue]

Seem to have missed the worst

[DaveW]

Had a bit of sun but now very black with thunder in the distance. Need to get the ark ready

[Ronnietheblue]

Best of luck

[Captain Sensible]

A shower at lunchtime in Caleta.  My daughter said there was heavy rain and flooding in Puerto del Rosario.

[DaveW]

Had to wear a pullover today, not good

[duncolm]

It we was raining so hard we had to pull off the road through Tetir this morning. Full speed wipers couldn't cope and water was flooding across the road.
Managed a couple of hours on the Lagoons beach this afternoon but there's currently a big thunderstorm just north of the lighthouse.

[Captain Sensible]

Just a couple of showers at my house.

The Orange Alert is still in place for Friday.

[Captain Sensible]

The alert has been downgraded to Yellow for today - a 55% chance of rain.

Lots of thunder in the early hours in Caleta, but not much rain.  I've just looked at a rain radar for the last 24 hours and it would appear that the north of the island got most of the rain.

[Elite of the forum]

Well it will have watered my garden 

[Captain Sensible]

It probably flooded it!

[Elite of the forum]

Hope the roof didnt leak ,you know what these flat roof,s are like 

[DaveW]

Don't know about down to yellow it looks worse today

[Captain Sensible]

My utility roof leaked, Bob

Quite bright all morning in Caleta.  No rain.  It still looks black out at sea.

[Captain Sensible]

Not too bad in Caleta yesterday, as it stayed dry until midnight.

Rain overnight, and a shower this morning.  The wind is now stronger too.

The Yellow Alert for rain remains in place for today and tomorrow, plus a Yellow Alert tomorrow for rough coastal waters.

[DaveW]

When can I expect to get some sun Steve?

[Captain Sensible]

After nearly 2 hours of rain in Caleta the sun is out now.

Dave will be happy

[DaveW]

Got very soggy going down for breakfast this morning, fortunately the sun came out to dry me off

[Captain Sensible]

A couple of showers at my house during the day.

[Ronnietheblue]

Its got til January to improve
