Heavy rain forecast next weekend

[cyprusmax47]

Just checked one of the German weather sites I am using to find out that it looks like we get heavy rain at the coming weekend, so be aware.....
Saturday supposed to be still OK, but Sunday different situation.

Devid, of passing interest as Mosfilioti is a long way from the Paphos area, where most members of this board live!
The weather forecast for Paphos, see <www.weatherunderground.com> says Thunderstorms and rain from Saturday pm, Sunday, Monday and maybe on Tuesday. Accompanied by rain,maybe heavy at times..

And if you read mine, you will see very much the same as yours but in more detail.

So finally I measured the last two days (Sunday & Monday) 98 liter/m2 which was unusual much for October and it is only the 18th today...
In the press one could read: "Meanwhile, in Paphos rainfall at the airport came in at 377 per cent of average, while in Panayia it was 299 per cent."

I find it a little confusing trying to equate 98 liter/ m2 to the more usual reading of mm or inches

Any rain is much needed here in Cyprus, the more the better , full resoviours are better then empty ones

Rainfall (including drizzle and rain) is usually measured using a rain gauge and expressed in units of millimeters (mm) of height or depth. Equivalently, it can be expressed as a physical quantity with dimension of volume of water per collection area, in units of liters per square meter (L/m2); as 1L=1dm3=1mm·m2, the units of area (m2) cancel out, resulting in simple "mm".

So for example my pool 10x5m = 50 m2, got 5 tons of rain water in 2 days....which tells me more than mm!!

According to <weatherunderground.com> the weather will be improving tomorrow, and should be pleasant sunny weather over the weekend temps 25c. . Which is good news after all the rain! The Asptokremnos Dam is filling up nicely, it was 82% yesterday, then it rained non stop here last night...
