Saturday: 100% certainty of rain

RainLogoThe temperature will be down to 16 degrees Celcius tomorrow with rains predicted to drench the region at  the start of yet another period of unsettled weather. This is helping to fill the reservoirs but is leaving the ground sodden and much of the population depressed. 
 
The rain from mid-morning, is not reserved for the Algarve as the prediction is for a generally soaked mainland with winds not improving the general mood.

There may a glimpse of sunshine on Sunday but the rain will return on Monday so it’s back to wet socks and umbrellas before an unsettled few days thereafter.
 
“Showers, sometimes strong with conditions for hail and thunderstorm along with strong seas” reads the IMPA forecast which points out that the west coast will still be having 5-6 metre waves, down to 1 to 2 metres along the southern Algarve coastline.

Today is the 21st consecutive day of rain, mostly heavy. Yesterday a storm tore thru my property damaging gates, storage doors and guttering. I've lived in the Algarve (on and off) for over 12 years, and this is the worst spell of weather I can remember. (:-/)

Even my dogs are fed up. One has not left his basket for days. Usually they are in the field chasing their fierce imaginings, both now have resigned themselves to becoming misty windowed observers to the reservoir-filling rainfall which will please farmers across the nation but leave others' spirits dampened.

This grey and wet is depressing. Can't it just rain at night...? I am sure the President of the Republic can arrange this... Still, at least the clouds are moving quickly across the sky with the hope of Springtime ever present

I agree with Liveaboard. As my Portuguese friend commented yesterday 'Every drop is more precious than gold'. I'm going to brush up on my 'Singing in the Rain' routine and enjoy it.

Depressed? Not out here in farming country. The old codgers look distinctly more cheery since the rain started.
