More flooding - this time in Crete. It rings home to me because I only flew back from there a week ago after a 10 day holiday. We visited the resort just adjacent to Agia Pelagia for a day trip. The weather was going downhill as we left so I'm glad we appeared to have timed our break about right ....

I remember the flooding in Central Australia about 50/60 years ago? when it was reported that the extent of the flooding in this desert area was 'incredible'.


Severe flooding somewhere in Australia is something that has been recorded regularly over the years but often, not at the same location.


The link below gives a good idea as to the intensity of these rainfall events -

Lot of thunderstorms and very cool temperatures of 22C in Nicosia and reported of waterspout in Ayia Napa area.


Autumn truly arrived now in Cyprus and really wet everywhere and quite early for those low  max temperatures which normally reserved in very late end of the month.

Interesting but it’s a pity it doesn’t cover the last 10 years because the frequency and severity of flooding events has increased markedly. The Wikipedia entry shows a frankly extraordinary record.

Not particularly unusually but always good to see a good snowfall.
Winter snow storm in the Sierra Nevada's at the moment.
Mammoth Lakes has had 17 inches so far, snowfall should get heavier as the day goes on.

Would love to spend a season there, most of the time it is sunny but when a winter storm comes in you really know about it.

Very interesting and any storm here is extremely boring because it doesn't deliver snow just rain only.
