Bit surprising that Keith. I look at the Europe Sat pics am & pm and
don't remember seeing any significant cloud there must have been short
sharp showers...

Most of that rain fell overnight (between midnight and 6am).
Fairly localised heavy showers across NE Spain and into SW France.
Quoted figures are for airport.
Figures for Barcelona centre were around 12mm.

Are they correct for the airport Gavino ?

The figures I got from official Spanish Met Agency we
12th 0.3mm (all in period 18-24h)
13th 0.0mm
14th 33.2mm (00-06h 22.0mm, 06-12h 11.2mm)
15th 35.2mm (all in 00-06h)

Discrepancies with yours may be because of different start time for 24hr
cycle.

Not even on the plain?

You probably know this, but "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain",
while a good rhyme and a fine exercise in English pronunciation, is
meteorological nonsense. The wettest parts of Spain are the NW region of
Galicia and along the northern coastal strip.

In the dubbed Spanish soundtrack of "My Fair Lady", it was changed to
"La lluvia en Sevilla es una pura maravilla" ("the rain in Seville is simply
wonderful", as it's usually very welcome).

Not much quantity though, only 0.5mm recorded up to 8pm tonight.

Today's weather in Spain has been what you might call a "north-south split",
with the northern third suffering wet and cool (UK-like!) conditions, while
the south (particularly south-east) swelters.

I haven't seen the final figures, but a 20 deg difference was forecast
between 18C for San Sebastian (north coast) and 38C for Murcia (inland
south-east), with even the coastal areas of Valencia and Alicante not far
behind at 36C.
