Just hope the weather settles down from the beginning of next week until the beginning of January and if it does rain (or worse), only between 2-6 am. Never known a December like this!

We too cannot remember a spell with so much thunder and lightning around

[trevnhil]

It is indeed very much needed, but could he have lots of rain without the thunder though.
On one hand my wife likes the curtains open to see all the lightning.
On the other hand our dog is frightened to death an quivers and whines as soon as he hears thunder in the distance. Two night ago he was with us on the bed but would not settle so lack of sleep for me...
I actually went back to sleep, with Max the dog from 7-30 am until 9-30 am

So tonight we can expect more of the same

Yes I read somewhere they were saying that Kouris Dam is now higher than it was at the same time last year. This is good news. However, it is still less than 10% full.

Second dam overflows

Possibility of local thundershowers tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night.

I thought you would be glad of the rain, surely in the Summer you were all complaining about the heat.

A very British obsession, weather watching. Never satisfied.

It does look like a contradiction.

It is less than 10% full but in danger of overflowing. Very odd.

[LouiseCastricum]

Dominic wasn't talking about the Kouris dam overflowing, just that it has more water in it than at the same time last year. Two smaller dams are overflowing.

For anybody interested, the latest dam levels are shown in this link http://www.moa.gov.cy/moa/wdd/Wdd.nsf/p ... endocument

Rising water levels in the Kouris reservoir have raised the possibility of it overflowing, which has not occurred since 2003, Cybc said.

Just repeating what the article said, I am no expert!!

The article is being a tad optimistic. Yes it does raise the chance of it flooding, the chance is still very low.

You get a much better idea of the area as a whole if you use the weather matrix:

It's the same data source, at least until January.

I personally would rather use Windy.com for all the different permutations you can choose..

ie, i have it set for Polemi, and have lots of other places set too, including places in the

By the way, it is thundering, lightning and heaving it down as I type this..

Just looked at the webcams. Looks very much like the UK today.

[trevnhil]

Well it has been dark here for about an hour, so I doubt you will have seen much. it was quite nice earlier in the day

From 9 AM only sunny today in my place. A short shower of 3 minutes 5.30 PM, that was it with the rain so far...

This was the sunrise...
