Aplmac Posted February 24, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2010 You're worried about weather?? Let me put it this way: We on this now-dry and parched island, beg and plead with you to bring some English rain with you, when you come. We have been in a drought situation now, since October: not good. The island's water supply is drying up, and we desperately need rain, 2 inches of it right now, and another 2 inches tomorrow. That might just close up the big cracks in our lawns. I hope this portrays the complete lack of rain we've been suffering for the last few months. Cloudy? Be glad it's cloudy, so your fair skin doesn't get burnt to a red crisp in the first hour. This is not English sun: this stuff is fierce! ______________________________________ You have little to worry about. Don't forget to bring rain: the island needs it. We're depending on you! .

Aplmac Posted February 24, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2010 ah thanks settled my mind but i would prefer to keep the rain in england as we have had floods here and its freezing my garden looks like a swimming pool!! think i stop looking at the weather forecast and just wait till i arrive!! Clouds mean little here -it'll still be warm, and you'll get a tan right thru those clouds, unless they're heavy (v.unlikely this time of year). It has been really dry and far too sunny..(all the plants are badly wilting and dropping leaves) but indications are that it's cracking, into less-dry weather, no big rains, not until Aug Sept. Oct. We're coming into what is the usual Dry Season, (Feb. to June) only this year it started in October - :eek: -not cool! :cool: I checked the long range forecast at URL http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/silver_sands and I see what you mean! hey, that's the cloudiest indication for quite some time but you'll also notice that the precipitation outlook is still lots of 0's zeros! :) Much of the time, early-morning cloudy periods are all burnt-off by the sun, by around 10:30 a.m. anyway. Don't worry about it. You'll very likely get a nice all-round tan, rather than a red burn. You'll see. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
