A small rock in the Atlantic: 14/02/10

Weather Forecast

Well the storm's gone, thank goodness, but there's more rain due on Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy Friday, quick!

We've had a lot more bad weather than usual this winter.

On a happier note, there's a children's carnival party at La Polvacera Sports Ground, with dancing, games, art workshops and murgas. Come in fancy dress if you can, at 5 pm.

Orange weather alert

Today we have a yellow weather alert for the whole island, and most of the sea around it (the exception is the sea immediately east of the island). Tomorrow it becomes an orange alert for the whole island with a yellow alert for the sea. And for Thursday we have an orange alert again for the island, and an orange alert for the sea, except for the same patch of sea off the east of the island.
