RAIN on it's way!?

Various forecasts are saying rain is on it's way to the Algarve. In fact it is getting rather cloudy already; could it be true? Let's hope it will be a non-stop-shower of a day or two, or three, or... (sorry tourists)

Lets hope so for the locals sake. Obviosuly a few showers will not make much difference to reservoir levels, but at least crops will get a drink.

Wonder what would be cheaper, a couple of desalination plants or a pipeline from Lincs to Portugal? :?

We could make the pipeline a water shute and charge people a fee to slide straight into the village :)

This way you get water and we get there already dressed for the beach :wink:

:lol: yeah... I like that idea :lol:
If I remeber right last year in August it rained for a week, what is happening to the weather these days.

Hope the rain is enough to help out a little in Portugal, I see that the north has been haveing rain for a couple of days now?
