Flying out to CVO tomorrow, checked the weather forcast and it says it's going to rain!Please tell me it's not true.

I'm afraid we're all hoping it is true - sorry

We are so desperate for rain, as you will see when you get here - although it's probably too little too late.

Oh well, we'll have to eat, drink and try to be happy. What bar serves the cheapest and best beer?

IF it rains..you will love it..partys in the street...sweet smelling grass........pls...pray for it....the plants and animals and my garden.. ..are all choking on a very dry throat.......

I appreciate what you're saying, but I've paid for a holiday in the sun as we don't see much of it in Wales! Never mind, as long as them sardines are on the 'barbies' and the Mateus Rose is chilled.

Take a look at this link: http://www.metcheck.com/sun/showResorts ... y=Portugal

Very nice site, Peter, thanks

If it does rain whilst you are here it is unlikely to last very long. There has only been the odd shower here for months now. Before I moved here it rained every time I came here on holiday - but usually never for more than a few hours during the entire time, so it never spoilt the holiday.

Metcheck are good for forecasting but their GFS charts are not friendly on the eye. Check out this precipitation chart from a very good Italian weather site. Click navigation and step through the next 180 hours. Wednesday midday through Thursday looks promising for rain. The weekend in the sourthern half of the UK looks like a washout!

Well is it raining out there yet?
And whats the forecast for end next week...do I pack my mac?
Mike? I can't get hang of that map...how does it work please?
(I was no good at geography..mumble mumble...) have you anything simpler for me to peruse?
Ta ..........elle

well, it poured in Silves this morning and Lagoa had enough to make cars and road wetish in places, but Carvoeiro's dry

Sorry Ellie, been a bit of a day! If you click to get the screen up then look at the top of the chart and you see on the left when the forecast was made and on the right the the forecast time (all in white). Click "navigazioni" (spelling) and the forecast for the next 180 hours loads up. Then click the first > for the first period and click again for the next and so on. It still looks like the Southern half of the UK is in for a soaking Friday pm and Saturday so cutting grass tomorrow. Hope this helps. Any probs PM me. Mike, Chislehurst

Its cats and dogs right now.....20:30----great I love it all my trees and grass are getting soaked..Whoopeedoo

Was it a long good soaking?

another wonderful,bright and sunny morning in Carvoeiro, the rain during the night seemed to have cleared the mugginess (is that a word?!).BD1
