It has to thunder as well get your wellies out.. I was very careful how I typed that.:rain: http://tenerife-weather-forecast.com/forecast.asp

[poker]

Its just a spot .
2 drops in a empty bucket .
We are back from a good week in Belgium and know again what rain is.
When you live here to long you forget . :D

[tracy hampshire]

has been raining steadily up here in icod for the past hour, we certainly need it .

[canarybird]

It's just started to rain here in Puerto de la Cruz. Time was 6:45 pm, today, Thursday. Still there's some blue sky so it's not a heavy rain.
The forecast is for possibly more light showers ahead and over the weekend.

[tfs_longlets]

Sky in the south at 8 am. Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning. Does that apply here?

4062

[canarybird]

Not always.

I often see a pink sky in the morning here at sunrise on days with no rain. However since the forecast is for rain these days it will probably be right.
I know the saying as sailors who take warning, not shepherds, but I suppose it depends whether you were brought up near sheep or near the sea. :)

The sky was also a very pretty pink this morning in Pto. de la Cruz. Faded before I could get out my camera though.

Looks like the Aemet forecast so far shows 85% certainty rain on Halloween, Oct. 31 with showers every day leading up to the 31st.

[warbey]

Difference between Tenerife and U.K. (This part anyway)

Tenerife... You wonder when the Rain will start.

U.K. You wonder when it will STOP.!

Well, I hope you got up to turn it off! That's what humans are supposed to do after all.

[TenerifeTeddy]

It' been raining overnight and we have woken up this morning to a fresh smell and damp air, nice and cool. What a refreshing change after almost 2 years without rain in Callao Salvaje.

The clouds are still very low over the mountain, and we were planning to take friends out for a holiday to Otelo Chicken at the Barranco del Infierno for lunch , but we may just have to sit inside, what a bummer :)

[Suej]

Well I'm staying indoors in the dry! I'm loving the rain it was so needed! the garden smells fresh and the air clean! looks awful looking down on to LC and Americas though!:rain: At least it's not cold!

[junglejim]

Raining since about 05:30- great!
Nice and cool !
Formula 1 and footie on all day , bliss!:football::greencar:

I have just 'booked' our tv to watch some tennis at 14.30. Not sure the impact of this advance notice has quite dawned on OH yet. It did clear up a bit earlier and I foolishly put some washing out, it is getting a long extra rinse now.

[junglejim]

I've got 2 TV's here for domestic bliss!
F1
Clyde v Trigger's Broom
Liverpoolv Everton
Man U v Chelsea
Might even do a Spanish game - pass the popcorn !

[anegib]

It is overcast and cool here above Candelaria but as yet not had any much needed rain.

[Suej]

Don't be greedy anegib! you had plenty last week! it's our turn now!:D

[imablue]

A very low cloud has just crept in up here in Tijoco Bajo.. raining though not at all heavy ...well needed ...

[anegib]

No Suej have not had any rain at all for 2 years now. The gardens really need it. Am hoping it will tip it down at some time soon.

[jackanory]

Just looked at Las Vistas beach webcam - it looks very gloomy.Anyway rain in Tenerife is quite a novalty even when you're there on holiday. Can't wait we will be there on friday.

[cainaries]

No Suej have not had any rain at all for 2 years now. The gardens really need it. Am hoping it will tip it down at some time soon.

We have had more rain in the last 24 hours than we have had in the last 24 months! So I hope you'll get some soon. At the moment the novelty is quite exciting but I'm not sure I'm going to feel the same about it next weekend when ... it appears ... it will still be raining having rained all the coming week.

[canarybird]

Not a drop here yet in Puerto de la Cruz. Just more of that :crying2: sunshine!

[anegib]

Oh dear do not want that much rain thank you very much just a day or two will do me.

[chris]

What's the weather like in puerto colon?

[junglejim]

Just now it's heavy cloud and muggy- no rain at present

12:30 now it's raining lightly!

[chifleta]

it must have rain a bit here in Fraile early hours, very low clouds were roll down from the hills, but we've had no more since then, and yes, very muggy here too.... I didn't tempt fate, I hung my washing on the "tendedero" in the covered passageway upstairs :)

[honda]

What's the weather like in puerto colon?

On and off.... When it's on it's P'ing down.

[Suej]

When we went up to Santa Cruz last week it was peeing down all day only brightened up when we reached Abades! Can't remember what day it was! But when we got back to Chayofa we also had had a shower! Dry down the hill! eek2:

[anegib]

Okay raining now up above Candelaria, not heavy but at least some for the gardens and the ducks are enjoying it as well.

[canarybird]

[Malteser Monkey]

[tracy hampshire]

been raining here in icod on & off since 12pm, nothing really heavy just lovely steady rain, still 22 degrees at 20.10 so it´s lovely, warm & fresh, hope it lasts a bit longer , we really need it, all the free water has been turned off to the fincas a couple of months ago, so the farmers really need it .

[blondie]

Welcome to my world and folk wonder what takes us to Tenerife so often.Glad the flights were too expensive for next week or we might have been there with you. My heartfelt thoughts to all who did,leaving one wet place for another and paying through the nose for the privilige

[slodgedad]

Duh, it's stopped.

First real water my garden's had for months.

C'mon.......:D

[Ecky Thump]

Oh, what a shame, I was going to text my friend who is on holiday in Tenerife and gloat that here in Ayrshire (Jockland), that today the sun is shining bright!:sunny:

[KirstyJay]

At least my car got a good wash yesterday. Saves me a job. :D

[chifleta]

orange alert for 90 km winds tomorrow, and a storm is a brewing apparently :) so loads more rain if we're lucky, but no flash floods pretty please :D

[tracy hampshire]

With all their orange and yellow alerts .

In Belgium near the seaside we use to have storms like that and more nearly 20 days a year . :D

It's Hurricane Sandy pushing all the stuff that normally goes north over to the eastern Atlantic. Sorry folks, but this is what you've got coming: http://www.intellicast.com/Global/Satellite/Infrared.aspx?region=hiatlsat&animate=true

Now come on sweetie, you know that when it rains here, it RAINS.... was this you trying to cross the road when you lived here.... don't know about wuss, she was a bit of a BEEP trying to cross the road with her shopping with that river coming down the street LOL:

this was probably the last heavy rain seen on the Reef.... so fingers crossed it's not like this tomorrow.... but when I saw the cloud formation on the news this morning it looked a bit black...

[RachyRoo]

Last time I visited Tenerife was Nov 2010, and Storm Xynthia made an appearance.....am due to fly over in 3.5 weeks and am hoping, as a visitors point of view in search of some sunshine (I know the island needs rain!) sorts itself out....been a rough year and I need some sun lol x

[seanocelt]

Better than 80% chance of decent weather here all year, just the way it is.

Yeap that was me liver and lentils everywhere:D

Seriously that was horrific I remember watching many videos around that time and thinking how scary that reaaly looked. Fingers crossed it's nothing like that this time. Is it raining now ?

[malagabob]

Is the rain confined to the North of the island or are you getting it in the South. Myself and the wife are coming over (LC) in 4 weeks for a well earned rest.

Wind is picking up and looks pretty grim! light rain here at the moment but clouds are getting darker! upside is it's not cold!;)

[duquessa]

whats it likeon golf del sur please today?

[canarybird]

You can check out the island webcams here on this link. (http://apalmet.es/WebCams/Tenerife.php) Don't believe the ones that show bright sunshine today.

It's been raining in Pto. de la Cruz and the wind is picking up and slamming doors right now.
Temperature is warm at 24.4° just before 11:00 am since the winds are coming from southwest.

I'd better say the wind is VERY strong right now!!!!

Yikes....I'd better say....gale force winds here at the moment. Stuff flying around outside!!!

[malagabob]

whats it likeon golf del sur please today?

You can get an idea by looking at the webcams of Las Vistas beach today. Looks a bit grey beach deserted. www.arona.travel

[tracy hampshire]

same here in icod de los vinos, gale force winds battering the house, everything that is not tied down is blowing around the yard, & the electic keeps going off, snuggled up on the sofa with hubby & 2 dogs & thats where i´m staying:)

The thing about here, with all our micro-climates, you can have torrential rain one day and the next you're lying on the beach sunbathing.... just don't wear flip flops like I did this morning, it started to spit and I nearly went ar*e over t*t (oh i'm a poet and I didn't know it) .... i should know better not to wear flip flops when there is risk of rain...

[tracy hampshire]

getting worse up here, my friend barely missed getting hit by a falling balcony in the middle of icod this morning, loro park & all the schools have been closed in puerto de la cruz, & many areas up here have no electricity, & according to the latest weather forcast on canarian news it´s going to get worse, stay safe everyone my advice is unless it´s absolutely nesessary don´t venture out, put your feet up with a nice bottle of something, thats my plan anyway :wink2:

[Marlene]

Goatherd I think ?????

[BoPeep]

In Golf de Sur its grey cloud, windy and spitting with rain but still about 25 degrees, quite nice if you can get under a veranda so you miss the wind!

[canarybird]

Looks like the whole of the northwest coast is under orange alert for high winds tomorrow, Wednesday.

Temperature outside now on my windowsill at 4:20 pm is 28°C and rising. Sky grey and threatening.

Yes I guess we'd better lay low and get out the candles just in case!

And oh yes...the cat came in...when she got hungry. I've locked her window so she has to stay inside now! No more chasing leaves in the wind.

I hope so! Tenerife, particually Costa Ajeje, you have 3 weeks 3 days to sort yourself out! Haha. Honestly though, I hope you are all safe, weather in the UK was freezing last week, in the sub 0 temps, so anything above 10 is an improvement! Last time we were out, Loro Park was closed after high winds, the kids were gutted, don't think they would forgive me if they don't get to go again!x

[cainaries]

For those who don't already know (!) we're on the west side of La Palma. Weather yesterday wasn't as bad as the weekend or today but we could hear planes flying over us which is extremely unusual. Can only assume they were re-routed because of Hurricane Sandy. Haven't heard anything today above the noise of the rain gushing down.

Question for Tracy ... how do you keep your dogs so calm when they're cooped up inside ... ours is driving us bananas. Would love to snuggle up on the sofa with her but she's having none of it! Should I put some gin in her drinking water?

We have 3 cats who use the cat flap but we have a stray who is almost a member of the household now, but he just can't get the hang of the cat flap and, if we leave a window open, all the rain and grit and stuff comes straight in. Oh, these animals are such a trial. Good thing I love them so much.

Wonder if she'd let you take her to the vet, Tracy. We still haven't braved putting Señor Stripey el Estray into a cat basket to get him vaccinated and snipped. We know we should and he's quite friendly now but he's a full Tom with cattitude. Maybe I should put the gin in HIS drinking water ....

[tracy hampshire]

and now to add to the problems of the storm thre´s a big forest fire in los realejos thought to have been started by loose electrical cables blown down by the wind, hope the rain comes soon to put it out, would imagine it will be difficult or imposible for the helecopters to work in these conditions.

I was off topic with my post in any case! Rain and fire more important than the kitten. Perhaps she got disorientated in the storms?

Am sure she is going to be extremely well looked after by you! Which is the main thing.

Could see that fire from my window but it seems under control now hopefully.

[KirstyJay]

It's unsettlingly calm here. Lulling us into a false sense of security.

[cainaries]

Am posting on here unusually early for me as raindrops did .. literally ... keep falling on my head. A new leak in our old Canarian roof right over my head (not OH's, of course).

Hope everyone else is okay?

[tracy hampshire]

wind dropped now but absolutely peeing down, the main street outside looks like a ride at the water park :spin:

[junglejim]

Pouring down in San Eugenio - the concern now is with possible land slips and unstable walls etc. due to being dry for so long !
This is what happened before after very heavy and prolonged rainfall - hope everyone stays safe !
I wonder how the Swedish boy got on with his " Longboard" skateboard last night?

Oops it's tonight !

[andyandcollette]

La Caleta is a wash. I have been here when it has rained before but to be honest its not letting up. having a bit of a re think on what to do because it looks set in for the day, unless someone can tell me different. I still much prefer to be here than in uk rain or no rain

Look what happened a couple of years ago......

Thank you for posting. And it's very interesting because according to the this morning picture La Palma looks as though it is enjoying a perfectly normal rain-free, storm-free day ... which, er, hasn't quite been the case! Anyhow it does look as though it should calm down a bit now. But the forecasts show more bad stuff to come.

[Malteser Monkey]

[tracy hampshire]

absolutely peeing down up here at the mo .

[Fred Perry]

We could be in for a very bad storm (South Tenerife) in next few hours. Looking at satelite and radar it looks dangerous what could be on way.

[KirstyJay]

Battering it down up here too. Our terrace is like a swimming pool and the rain's horizontal coming from the west... just getting some towels ready for in case it comes under the patio door.

Here you are.

[imablue]

Yes its upon us now here in Tijoco ..probably only the start of a very rough night if going by the radar images i posted earlier ...stay safe out there peeps ..

[julia44]

Wow what a lot of water and its still coming down.
The water is dripping from the ceiling downstairs, majorly pouring through upstairs and I think i the next couple of hours the plasterboard ceiling (that my ex "what I dont know about building is not worth knowing" put up) is going to come crashing down. All the electric at the back of the house has packed up, no hot water for 3 days as the plumber is struggling to get the new part,the dishwasher is leaking, there are 3 mice running round the house hotly pursued by the cats and I have ran out of bread.
So I am sat here laughing away to myself, dont know if it is the crazyness of the situation or I am boardering on hysteria.
However my vegetable patch is coming on a treat

[Malteser Monkey]

Everyone ok ? what's happening now ?

[Megaloo]

Pouring here in Puerto de la Cruz Not a break in the cloud, but who knows everything could change in an hour:jumping:

[tracy hampshire]

same here in icod, not stopped raining all night x

[canarybird]

Been raining all night too here in Puerto. The wind is still coming from the southwest, pushing up this long band of weather.

Tenerife is in the red circle.

Forecast is still for heavy rain and strong winds up on high peaks.

And here is the Sat 24 current image (http://www.sat24.com/zoomloop.aspx?ir=false&region=af&lat=29&lon=-16) from this morning.

[cainaries]

Still chucking it down on the west side of La Palma. OH has agreed that, though he wanted rain, he didn't want this much of it and all at once.

My heart goes out to Julia44. Got 2 cats indoors with their legs crossed and the dog has refused point blank to go out. 2 other cats must be sheltering somewhere outside. They'll be hungry when they brave it to come in.

This summer we put an a/c and heating unit in our bedroom. I have had it on for the last 24 hours and for the first time since we bought this house we have a dry bedroom in the rain. Bliss. So nice not to climb into clammy sheets and put on clammy clothes. These old houses may be picturesque but there are some downsides.

In the very small lulls between rainstorms I have been harvesting some veg. But no chance today as it hasn't let up since well, since yesterday, I don't think. If Julia44's sprouts look like ours, muddy and rain-battered, she may be a bit disappointed. But all bodes well for planting as soon as it stops. OH bought 400 onions today ready to race down and plant them in the next lull.

http://www.aemet.es/es/eltiempo/prediccion/municipios/adeje-id38001

Aemets forecast for this morning was 5% chance of rain and this afternoon 0% chance. So it would seem that there is a fat chance of them being right.

On the bright side, 4 days of rains and storms and there haven't been any power cuts locally.......YET.
All the sand and dust has been cleaned from the fly nets.
I can call the builder back after it has cleared up, and point out exactly where the roof leaks.
The new mop & bucket works well.
The system for catching the drips behind the chimney took a while to work out but the strip of cloth to transfer the water from the small container to the big bucket was ingenious in the end.
Dog number 2 now knows what rain is and learnt fairly quickly to rush out during a lull.
The river in the garden, has water in it again, for a while.
The garden has been watered really well, and I don't have to pay the authority for at least 2 weeks worth.
So still looking promising.

[harbern]

arrived tues !! wet raining ,wed!! same thurs,friday no change.
still great to be back :laugh:

[slodgedad]

I was quite happy to see some rain at last until I got a call from work laying us off for the day.

Yes, I had a look on that lovely webcam at Puntagorda and saw lots of really thick black clouds but the sun was also showing through and I couldn't just watch it all day. Glad you're all still in one piece, 'naries!!

How about you, Santi, are you snowed in? Puntagorda is on the west side of the 'tiny' island of La Palma but well to the north of us. Monkey did find a webcam in El Paso (where we are) ages ago, I'll try to hunt it out for you.

Well, it will be before Christmas, but it is a bit of a secret as I like to join in on the forum without anyone knowing whether I am here or there - at least for a few days. Let's put it this way: I pack on the day I leave and my suitcase is still in the garage at the moment!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for asking. At the hospital, mainly. OH fell over (sober!) and broke his hip. What a week. Couldn't even email or skype with family in UK without any telephone line. And the washing machine has broken down with washing inside it which has probably turned to mush by now!

And it's just started to rain again here as well.

Thanks so much. It hasn't been a good week, that's certainly true!

Thanks for the cheering comments. The good news is that a friend brought me over a bottle of 'expresso' vodka. In fact he brought me over two bottles. I have tried to be very restrained on the booze front but I think a barraquito with a slug of expresso vodka might go down rather well about now.
