We returned to the UK last weekend after our first winter visit to PP. Whilst it was cooler than we anticipated we did have 2 weeks of virtually wall-to-wall sunshine. It seems to have been non-stop rain and wind since, with today's webcam views being the worst this week.

From the MDB :-

Quote:
Now the reservoirs are overflowing.

There's no longer any concern about the levels of the Gorg Blau and Cúber reservoirs. Because of the intense rain, both started to overflow today, provoking concern about the danger posed by water from the Torrent de Pareis.

This wasn't the only torrent causing worries. The environment ministry reported that in sections of other torrents, water was overflowing and producing flooding.

The agriculture section of the same ministry says that its technical staff are conducting evaluations of the effects of the rain and acting in order to try and prevent losses............
The full story can be read here :- Now the reservoirs are overflowing » Balearics » News » Majorca Daily Bulletin

Well, Old PP certainly took one hell of a beating yesterday. Can't remember seeing one like that for years.
Still, in these days of equality, it's only fair we should share it about a bit. A reminder to all those folk that live there what you are missing in old Blighty.

Wow that is scary, especially the river flowing up Carrer del Bot!!

However I like the optimism of the sunglasses on the dashboard in the hope that the weather might change!! Perhaps they have a Glass half full Sparky???
