Default O.T. Weather for Majorca/Western Med

Hi there,

Bearing in mind the rotten weather that the Balaerics & Spanish Costas have
been experiencing, and the fact that I'm off to Majorca for 2 weeks on the
20th June, I can't help but getting excited about this:

85.214.49.20/pics/Rtavn3841.png

I hope i'm not being over optimistic. Do you guys see any sign of the awful
weather in that part of the world coming to an end?

For an example of how bad it's been The Weather Underground have historic
records for Majorca going back to 1996. The normal number of rainy days for
May seems to be about 5 (6 at most) but so far this month they've already
had 15 days of rain! Quite exceptional.

All your thoughts would be most welcome especially if they're of the hot &
sunny variety. :-)

Many thanks

David

Default O.T. Weather for Majorca/Western Med

Great if your going to be located at the 500Mb pressure height on that day,
but I would be studying the 2M temperature readings for that day!
I, like yourself am watching the dismal weather in that part of the world as
I will be on the Costa Del Sol from the 7th-14th.
Regards.

Dismal?

You oaf! There is a food shortage world-wide and this rain is breaking
a long drought there. I hope you get ****ing soaked. You moron.

In answer to your 'comments' Weatherlawyer, the fact that there is a food
shortage is of course unfortunate for those who have to suffer it. The fact
that there is also a drought in that part of the world is also unfortunate,
but there is NOTHING that you, I, fellow poster GKN or anyone else of our
standing in the world can do about it. This is down to governments to
resolve (or at least alleviate). HOWEVER many people on the Spanish costal
resorts and the Balearics make their living from tourism during the summer
months and in this respect we CAN make a very positive contribution. The
only thing that this unseasonal weather is going to do to these people is to
potentially reduce their main source of income and potentially take away
their liveliehoods less off unless the weather improves.

So Weatherlawyer if you're so concerned about the plight of the people in
the Spanish Costas, Balearics etc do us all a favour - stop banging that
'holier than thou' drum of yours, go and book yourself a holiday down there
and go and spend your hard earned cash. I guarantee they'll appreciate it
much more than a month's worth of rain in the summer any day!

So - back to my original question - any good weather on the way guys?

It really doesn't look great, David. There's no indication of settled
weather, via a fat anticyclone and low pressure looks anchored over
the West of Europe, feeding cool, Atlantic air in for the next week,
with 23C and showers, for the Costas. No signs of plumes to warm the
Costas and El Horno's seems to be opereating on a low flame, for the
time being!

Well past T240, at middle/end of your holiday period, there are hints
that low pressure could settle out in Biscay, dragging up warmer air,
as pressure rises, but that's too far away for any confidence. Best
hope the models handle this Southerly Jet badly and maybe things will
change and pressure will rise over the Med for the 7th. You may have
to hope hard though! Sorry I can't be more positive. The weather here
looks as warm as the Costas, at least in the run-up to the 7th!

Thanks for your comments Paul - anything is helpful. As the overwhelmingly
normal weather there at the end of June is generally warm/hot & sunny I'm
hopeful that 'normal service' will be resumed before we go away.

Thanks Again

David
