Weather Report - Live from Rico/Playa

[Sunshine girl]

Can we have the weatherman back please?:)

[mary]

Well it is pouring with rain in the north although it was lovely in the south this morning.
Yesterday was a horrible day all over the island.

[2-islandangie]

Well folks it has been a reasonable day - Bit of a breeze at times that kept the temp.down. Top temp today was around 26 today.

[mary]

I'm confused- can someone combine these two weather reports.

Weather in the north - cloudy but warm on Friday 23rd December

[2-islandangie]

A beautiful blue sky not a cloud to be seen.What a lovely way to spend christmas Eve. It looks like it is going to be a hot one today.

[canarysun]

Dearest viewers!:wacko:
Greetings to you all! and nice to be back in action(without sounding rude lol) Now it's my birthday today! (i have only told Mary, so "sssshhhh")42 today!! anyway on with todays weather folks........

After a pleasant fruit juice on the balcony and a drive out into the countryside it was eventualy time for the "daily Stroll"
Blue skies,a little cooler than normal (26 degrees) and the coastal walk was very busy(armed with cat biscuits and fresh seasonal fruit) the sea was very calm and still(a bit like myself viewers:happy: )The beach was also quiet and a bit overcast throughout the afternoon at times,but plenty of remarkable and facinating scenery folks:bronwen: lol

Marcus (42 years old,eccentric but relaxed here in shorts and "wolfing"back a tin of Quality street!!!)Happy xmas freinds..................lol

[mary]

[2-islandangie]

We are in PDI & it didn't rain all day. We managed to do a bit of sunbathing in the afternoon.Went out for a walk last night.Didn't need a jacket.(Very seldom do).
The sun is shining already looks as if it is going to be a good day.
Hope you have a good holiday with plenty of nice weather.

[mary]

Sunny and clear blue skies in the north and the south today. Good beach day today

[mary]

Weather so far has been sunny over Christmas (in the south). T shirts etc in the day and chilly in the evening - as you said

In the north - completely different - rain rain rain although some sunshine around Las Palmas

[mary]

Well it was a sunny day over most of the island today - as Libbyo says, a bit chilly this morning but warm in the sun.
Dry in the north today which was nice to dry my washing

[MARCUS]

Good evening viewers!
Well while Mary has been "drying her clothes" in the North of the island i have a marvelous weather report for today (30theDecember 05)
So after fruit juice and coffee served on my balcony before 09.00 this morning it was then off to Palmitos park once again viewers!The weather was glorious! Blue skies with a bit of cloud(about 25 degrees)as i strolled round the park chatting to various "tropical birds" all morning viewers!(:bronwen: )lol
Then a delicious lunch in the sunshine(Pizza,rice pudding mmm) and a snooze under a palm tree to finish the afternoon off! what a gorgeous day,a bit chilly in the shade but lovely sunshine for most of the day folks.
So much better than the scene from Gatwick Airport at the same time this morning of freezing weather and misserable!!!
Marcus (back on the forum,dressed in tshirt and shorts folks!):happy:

[MARCUS]

Good afternoon viewers!
Another glorious day folks! i popped out for a "late afternoon daily stroll" only to be "lynched" outside my very own front gate by "Libbyo" viewers.(we discussed cat buscuits and kiwi fruit) and then it was off for the stroll...A cooler day than normal(about 26 degrees) the sun was shining and the skies were blue but a bit of haze about.The walk way to amadores was busy with an "International cast"(including myself viewers)
The perfect day for walking or photography.I noticed several people photographing the lizards from behind the rocks until one Lady got most upset and told holiday makers that they werent lizards but a "komodo Dragon" breeding ground.(i stepped in viewers to tell the lady how ridiculous the whole thing was and to get on with her holiday.) Sorry i'm waffling!(:unsure: ) anyway just to recap,
A wonderful day,you couldn't get anything more perfect viewers!

Marcus (your friend:happy: x)

[libbyo]

Nice day today. Think it was the hotest all week. Beach was very quiet this morning. I wonder why? This afternoon it was packed. What a great way to spend New Years Day.

Libbyo :)

[MARCUS]

Good evening viewers!:wacko:
Well not so much of a "glamerous" weather report today due to the fact that i have spent all day in three different police stations!!
But i did manage to sample the gorgeous weather as i drove the country lanes of Mogan with the roof down and the atlantic breeze running through my hair viewers.(playing my micheal Mcdonald cd)Sunshine all day,blues skies and a bit warmer today viewers,i would guess at about 27 degrees,a great day for the beach as always.Marvelous!!
Happy New year viewers!
kind regards,
Marcus (from the land of sunshine...........:cool: xxx)

[MARCUS]

Monday 2nd Jan 06

Marcus x (lol)

[MARCUS]

Viewers! lol
Another lovely day here in Puerto Rico! sunny all morning and then it clouded over for most of the afternoon.I was joined by "a freind" for some "idle chit chat" on the beach later on and the beach was quiet.The restaurants were quite busy as always,particularly Ciao Ciao's which was serving delicious dishes just as authentic as "Eros Ramazzotti" himself viewers! the pasta dishes were wafting across the sands............
A bit cooler today at 26 degrees with sun and cloud,but a bit chilly for a swim in the sea folks!

Marcus (:tweety: lol) x

[mary]

grey skies in the north today.

[libbyo]

Cloudy in the south so far as well. Fingers crossed for later though.

Libbyo :)

[MARCUS]

Viewers!
Not good news on the weather today!! Cloud all day with about 8 seconds of sunshine which appeared faster than "the flashing blade"(showing my age lol) a lot colder today folks,no good for the beach but a great day for walking or strolling! The beach was very quiet but the walkway was very very busy,but an enjoyable stroll viewers.(i was not alone today):censored: lol
That is todays weather report folks!
Marcus x

[libbyo]

Its a bit sunnier this morning, so hopefully it will just get better from now.

[MARCUS]

Viewers!!
Another lovely day! blue skies but with a lot of cloud about for most of the day,but absolutely gorgeous later on when i went for my "daily stroll"
Blue skies and the sun was shining,quite breezy at times,but a pleasant stroll viewers.(i even came across another character feeding the cats sporting a Steven Segal hair do.:huh: lol) the beach was absolutely packed to the brim(inc Puerto Rico beach aswell!) rather chilly in the sea but nice lying in the sand viewers!(are you jealous viewers?)
I also noticed that whilst i was swanning around the beach in shorts and flip flops that some Spanish ladies were dressed for "Ice Station Zebra"
26 degrees in the sunshine today folks!
Marcus (in his cliff top retreat):sleep: x

[MARCUS]

Hello viewers!!:banana:
So it's "kings day" here in spain!(xmas day) and it is busy out and about.Just a quick weather report as i am off to my xmas party with friends!:wacko: (held at a secret location)
The weather was very much the same as yesterday,cloudy but the sun came out later on and i was "basking" in the afternoon sun on Amadores beach viewers until quite late.26 degrees and a slight breeze at times.
Marcus :) (it's nice to smile) x

[mary]

Report from the North.
Lovely day to day- started cloudy but sunny in the afternoon.
We've spent the day playing with the toys that the 3 kings sent us and then a nice walk around the Bandama volcano

[MARCUS]

Well viewers!!
Another lovely day again today here on our island in the sun! The day started very cloudy and carried on until abou 13.30 and then the clouds cleared and the blue skies arrived! The daily stroll was as exciting as ever viewers with the walkway busy today even my "ageing flip flops" made it to the beach! the beach was packed,I lied in the sand whilst eating my orange(hand picked) and then went for a swim.26 degrees when the sun was out,but got quite chilly when the cloud returned!
Marcus :) (still smiling) x

[libbyo]

Heavy rain this morning. Yeuck. Hopefully it will clear up shortly.

Libbyo :)

[MARCUS]

Viewers!!!
What a hideous day it is! It's been bloody raining here all day since i was rudely awoken(my the rain viewers)at 05.00 this morning! and it has been raining all day long! No daily stroll,and my car is once again like "the blue lagoon" inside.Cold,windy,rainy viewers absloutely bloody misserable.(sorry,but i cannot describe it any better folks!)
Marcus (off to visit the "blue lagoon"):angryfire:

[mary]

Blue blue clear skies over the whole island today. Still a bit chilly in the shade but then most people are only just thinking about getting up for breakfast as its only 9.40am

[libbyo]

Pleased to hear the weather is better today. Yesterday morning was well wet!

Libbyo :)

[MARCUS]

Hello viewers!!:confused:
What a lovely day it has been today!Marvelous viewers! At 08.30 the skies were blue without a cloud in sight! Most people put there washing out to dry,i put my car out to dry!
And so,the sun was out all day as i took off on my daily stroll to amadores beach in the afternoon.My "ageing" flip flops held me back viewers as i limped along like "Dr loomis on pursuit of Micheal Myers"lol:wacko:
But the beach was packed and quite hot at times,although an added breeze was also cold at times as i found the sea as well viewers!It felt about 26 degrees,but a chilly wind at times throughout the day.
Marcus :wub:

[MARCUS]

Hello viewers!:o
Not a good weather report i am afraid! Bloody chilly all day! The odd ray of sunshine now and again(all of 2 minutes 21 seconds viewers!)No "daily stroll" due to the "wind chill" factor(lol)The odd drizzle of rain at times(nothing serious viewers) i found myself "huddled"(:smlove2: ) in the local hairdressers all afternoon to keep warm.
Temp recorded today in Puerto Rico was ranging from 18 degrees to a max of 22 degrees folks.
Marcus :angry:

[MARCUS]

Weather update- Time 20.58 location My apartment.
Heavy rain just started folks!
"The return to the blue lagoon"
Marcus :banghead:

[mary]

Pobrecito. Poor little thing

Sorry in the habit of this translation lark

Dry at the mo' in the north but rain may move this way overnight. Been cloudy all day although more so in the mountains

[mary]

Bit of rain this morning on the drive south.
Skies blue with bits of cloud. Chilly in the wind but nice if you find a little sheltered spot.
Bit overcast in the north this afternoon

[mary]

Today is a lovely day in the north. Started off a cloudy but cleared early afternoon.
Went to Las Canteras to twiggle my toes in the sand. Son played in the sand whilst I read La Provincia. (newspaper). Lovely afternoon. Bit chilly even though the sun was shining but there were lots of tourists promenading and sunbathing - and spanish too

[MARCUS]

Viewers!
Well while Mary was twiggeling her toes in the sand on Las Canteras beach(very nice)No not Mary's toes! Las Canteras beach folks!! lol
Now in Puerto Rico it was quite a beautiful day.The day started with a espresso coffee served on the balcony at 08.30 whilst enjoying the view around me......The afternoon was spent reading the "hello" magazine by my pool.Blue skies,the sun was shining for most of the day and a bit breezy at times viewers.
Greetings from a very quiet but sunny Puerto Rico.(26 degrees)
Marcus x:blink: lol

[mary]

This morning in the north it was raining - another day that my washing wont dry.
Off down the motorway to open up the clinic and there was blue skies from about the airport down.
Sunny day in Puerto Rico
Then back up the motorway and hit the rain again at the airport.
Sitting in my house now with the gas heaters on thinking about cooking a good warming stew for my dinner.

[mary]

Well its 15 degrees but feels colder as the air is so damp.

The damp here is strange. I bet you dont have mould growing on your leather shoes at home - I do, and its because of the damp

[Ghoulie]

used to get that effect in Dubai Mary :closedeyes: - its the RH that does it. Compared to the UK, the higher all round temperatures with such a high moisture content in the air itself for a much longer period than uk does it. Answer is air conditionng or dehumidifiers indoors. In Dubai it had to be air conditioning - 50°C in the shade is a bit much to bear

[mary]

Since we've moved here we have bought gas heaters, aircon units and I'm trying to put off buying a dehumidifier. Feels ridiculous!!

[MARCUS]

Viewers!
In Pueblo Mogan in rained for most of the day,5 mins down the road on Mogan beach it was a sunny day! At the Airport in Telde it was raining also and viewers as i had my siesta by the pool this afternoon i basked in the afternoon sunshine taking a cool shower at halk time to cool down folks.blue skies,sunshine,cloudy and 2 rainbows(my friend Bungle!:unsure: ) 26 degrees in the sunshine but chilly in the evenings viewers!)
Marcus :censored: lol

[mary]

Blue skies down by the beach in PR but a little up the valley over our clinic, opposite the water park, we have a black cloud and drizzle.
Lots of rainbows on the drive down this morning. The island is looking very pretty and green at the mo' after all the rain

[MARCUS]

A strange day viewers!(not me,the weather!)i awoke this morning to a rainbow and black cloud,i was out in Pueblo Mogan this morning and it was raining.This afternoon in Puerto Rico was mainly cloudy with little sunshine until about 16.30 when i decided to go for an afternoon stroll(shades,toothpick and the daily telegraph)the sun was strong and very hot along the walkway to Amadores and it turned out to be a lovely walk. 25 degrees in the sun,but quite chilly out of the sun.a mixed bag viewers!
Marcus :wacko:

[mary]

Lovely day today again. Blue skies all the way from north to south with the odd fluffy cloud

[karen0603]

hi
just had a look at the amadores web cam and it looks like you will enjoy your walk today markus ,the sun is shining :)
karen:thumb:

[richt71]

If it's a nice day Marcus...will your car not resemble a swimming pool!! :laugh:

[MARCUS]

Do i feel a hint of jealousy viewers??? lol:happy:
A great day today folks! I decided to spend the afternoon topping my tan up and lied in the glorious sunshine all afternoon viewers! blue skies 26 degrees with the odd cloud i noticed while relaxed by my pool with a tuna roll,a selection of manadrin oranges(local) and the "cosmoplitan" magazine viewers.
Marcus(refreshed after a pleasant siesta:happy: ) lol

[MARCUS]

Well Viewers! the weather seems to be all over the place at the moment,yesterday "snoozing in the sunshine" and today grey,cloudy and no sunshine viewers! I did manage to eat 4 mandarin oranges(not hand picked from Marys "Courtyard" lol) but not a good day folks,no pool,no beach even the shades were left at home........
Marcus (reporting live from a secret location) x:wub:

[mary]

Low lying cloud in Puerto Rico today. Still feels warm though but not a sunbathing day

[MARCUS]

Hello Viewers!
Another day of "missery"(great movie!)sorry let's get on with the weather folks!
All day it has been cloudy and dull,felt quite chilly in the wind.Not much sunshine at all,not sunbathing weather.Even a bit "nippy" for a daily stroll.:cry:
Marcus .

[MARCUS]

Well Karen,yes some days it does remind me of uk weather! i don't live a "uk lifestyle" as you can obviously see!(:nodding: ) lol but the weather is not what it used to be 10 years ago here in the winter time.One day sunny and the next cloudy.The summers are fine as in July to October it is sunny almost everyday (35 degrees) it's just the winter that has changed.
Marcus(a weather review)

[MARCUS]

hello!
A near perfect day today,the skies were blue and almost without a cloud to be found.I spent the afternoon relaxed by the pool with a selection of "seasonal fruit"(not from a tin!)and enjoyed the afternoon with the temperatures as high as 27 degrees folks! what a marvelous day.
:D x

[coolcreen]

About 6.30pm 3 weeks ago so I'd expect that it is about 6.45pm now. Look in here www.weathergrancanaria.com (http://www.weathergrancanaria.com) where you will get live info on the weather in Puerto rico. At the bottom of the webpage you will see the image from the Puerto Rico webcam which is updated every 10 minutes. You can check from about 6.40pm onwards, refreshing your every 5 minutes. Remember, the length of time between sunset and darkness is quite short

[MARCUS]

Hello (again)
Before we start on the weather it is currently getting dark at about 18.50 ok.
Now.....Another lovely day again today,a slight haze in the blue sky and a slight breeze off the atlantic ocean making it a pleasant afternoon for relaxing by the poolside once again with a selection of "Tropical" fruit today folks! and not forgetting my "Harrold Robbins" paper back.Top temps today crept up to 28 degrees.
Marcus......(living life on the edge......:unsure: )lol

[mary]

Strange day today. Very warm but cloudy. Warmer than of late but not a suntan day. Same North and south.

Marcus and i will tell the windmills to turn faster, to blow the clouds away, to improve the weather for you all

[MARCUS]

Yes Mary! A totally different day today with the weather! it has been cloudy all day and as the afternoon progressed the temperature dropped and it has been raining on and off here in Puerto Rico.As it was chilly i have spent the afternoon "huddled" amongst " friends"drinking espresso coffee and a slice of "left over" xmas cake.(delicious)
Marcus :smlove2:

[mary]

Absolutely bucketing it down. Drive along the motorway was a bit hairy to say the least. No signs of letting up today at least.
Poor marcus is probably swimming in his car today

[BIG GAZ]

:thumb: SISTER IN P.R. AT MO, WAS POURING THIS MORNING BUT JUST HAD TEXT TO SAY SUN IS OUT:nodding:

[MARCUS]

Viewers!!!
Well the strangest day for weather in all the 15 years i have been here!:wacko:
It rained all night,and i awoke this morning to very heavy rain.My car became the "return to the blue lagoon" once again viewers! damp seats and towels to stay dry! The raods were very dangerous this morning as i drove to Pueblo Mogan,rocks flying down from the mountainside into the road,everywhere flooded viewers!! but then.......at 14.00 hours the rain stopped,the clouds went away and the sun came out and there i was basking in 26 degrees by the pool with fresh fruit once again.
A happy ending viewers....................
Marcus :wacko: xxx

[mary]

Still raining in the north this morning but not as heavy as yesterday. The motorway was closed for a short time yesterday between vecindario and telde due to the rain. All the storm drians had raging torrents rushing down them. In the newspapers today, there are pictures of fantastic waterfalls in the middle of the island from yesterday.
In PR today, blue skies and sunshine. The odd cloud around. lets hope they dont join up and make one big cloud

[rab_c.]

Flooding hits Gran Canaria again
Gran Canaria's wet winter continued on Tuesday with some of the heaviest rain seen in years. The town of Telde was worst affected by the torrential downpours, which left 100 litres of water per square metre and caused major subsidence, including the collapse of several roadside walls.



5 major roads were closed and 30 schools in various parts of the island sent pupils home for the day due to the flooding or communications problems caused by the heavy rain, which lasted much of Tuesday. Despite the chaos, Gran Canaria's Roads Department insisted that the damage had been much less than feared, given the drainage modifications ordered after the last major floods prevented a repeat of the serious effects suffered in the resorts in the south of the island.

[mary]

Sunny in PR this morning but cloudy and damp in the north

[MARCUS]

Viewers!
Not a good day with regard todays weather! It has been cloudy and overcast nearly all day apart from 9.00 this morning.
I have just returned from the police station where they informed me that the island is on "Storm Alert" once again and in the early hours of the morning are expecting winds of between 75 and 100 km per hour bringing rain also.(we never know living here but lets hope not!)
Your friend Marcus x:wub:

[mary]

Lovely and suny day in the north this morning but hit a rainy patch in the bahia feliz area. Arriving at Puerto rico it looks like they had the rain earlier. Skies still cloudy in PR.

[mary]

Looks l ike it should be brightening up from Sunday and then next weekend will be good and sunny

[MARCUS]

So from the early hours of this morning came the rain and strong winds as predicted! it went on until about 14.00 then the sun came out and turned into a lovely afternoon.
25 degrees by the pool and blue skies all afternoon folks!! a splendid afternoon........:dry:
Marcus xxxx

[mary]

This morning, in the north, sunny but very windy. Drove south where there was less wind and had a great lunch in Bar Pio Pio on Tauro beach and then sat in the sun in Puerto Rico. Lovely day

Still windy tonight in the north

[MARCUS]

Yes another "splendid" day folks! blue skies all day and the sun was shining all day.A bit of light breeze just to help turn the pages of the "hello" magazine that i was reading by the pool viewers! fresh kiwi fruit for lunch and a swim in the pool to cool down. 26 degrees in the sunshine,rather nice...................:blush:
Your friend Mr M x

Blue blue skies here in PR today. looks like its going to be a lovely day.

[MARCUS]

Well yes Mary it did indeed turn out to be a lovely day!!! I managed a couple of hours by the pool this afternoon(in between a hectic lifestyle:unsure: )and it was gorgeous,no breeze,blue skies and temp once again was about 26 degrees.

Hi guys

We are off to Playa del Ingles on th 9th Feb, any advice or info on weather we should expect/pack for and how busy it will be, please lets us know. Also we are staying at the Gran Canaria Princes..any comments or feedback regarding this hotel will be appreciated...

Thanks guys........:D

[mary]

Jan and feb can be changeable. Hopefully you'll be lucky and get a good week - we often get a calima (sirocco) during feb whicj would mean a hot and sunny week. Otherwise it should be warmish but chilly in the evenings.

Today was sunny and cloudy with occasional spits of rain

[MARCUS]

Yes and not a good day today in Puerto Rico,it started off a bit cloudy with some sunshine at times and then the afternoon was totally cloudy and NOT beach or pool weather viewers!!! much cooler today.(the perfect weather for relaxing at home watching "gone with the wind" viewers)
Marcus :puke: lol x

[mary]

Absolutely clear blue skies today. Bit chilly in the shade but looks like a lovely day for Marcus' walk and fruit on the beach

I've always wanted to know - if I move the live webcam and someone is looking at the same time, does their picture move.

[MARCUS]

Yes a delightful day viewers!
27 degrees today as i "basked" in the sunshine surrounded by friends:grouphug: all enoying the sunshine and swimming pool close at hand viewers! blue skies almost all day and feeling quite hot(the weather not me folks!) I would almost describe todays weather as the most perfect winters day.
Marcus;) xxx lol xxx

[mary]

Another beautiful day. Unbroken skies - well the odd little fluffy cloud - lovely and warm but a little chilly in the shade

[colinb]

Hi Mary, the answer to your question about the webcam - yes it does move, only one user can move it at a time which is why you sometimes have to wait to access the ptz control. If people are waiting you normally get 60 second at a time.

[MARCUS]

Viewers!
Not a good weather report i am afraid! the temperatures have dropped and it is very overcast.The beaches are almost empty.
The ideal weather for a stroll or relaxing at home watching "chitty chitty bang bang" on dvd..........
Marcus xxx

[mary]

We had a sunny afternoon but it went very overcast and chilly at about 4ish / in the north

[BIG TONY]

I would'nt take to much notice of the forecast. Most of the forecasts available on the net are for Las Palmas. Although only about 40 miles north of the Southern resorts the weather can vary greatly. On some days the difference is unbelievable with Las Palmas up to 8 C cooler. The North of the island see's a lot more rain too.
Generally at this time of the year it's shorts and tee shirt by day, and jeans and a light jacket by night. Just look at the daily postings regarding the weather by both Mary and Marcus for accuracy !!!!

[MARCUS]

Hello viewers!
Not a good day for the weather i am afraid.Not cold but overcast for most of the day.Today was the"return of the daily stroll" to find a very quiet walkway and Amadores beach almost empty.Just back only an hour ago from the police station in Mogan where they showed me a fax of a weather warning! So yes the island is on red alert once again as they forcast that tomorrow will bring"rain" and "strong winds"(very strong at times) and the possibility of thunder and lightening! Not good viewers!!!
Marcus(Hiding under the bed terrified and with eyes as big as "Orvilles" xxx
:blink: lol

[mary]

Well I dont know about a weather warning but today is very overcast with the odd patch of blue over the sea in PR. Now, the question is .... will that blue get bigger or will it get swallowed up by the grey clouds

[swifty]

raining in pr this morning at five am.
black clouds all morning.
cloudy at moment but sun breaking through.
blue sky coming in from the sea.

[MARCUS]

Good evening viewers!
What a strange kind of day!Well as promised the rain came hammering down in the early hours of this morning,People wandering about in coats and long trowsers(I was in shorts viewers)The rain kept on and off with quite a lot of wind until Just before midday and then...........The blue skies returned with the sunshine!By 12.30 there was not a cloud in the sky,which meant that a pleasant afternoon was had spent relaxing by the pool with a selection of "fresh fruit" and a "magazine".A dip in the swimming pool was most refreshing as we had top temperatures today as high as 29 degrees.
Marcus (with a "detailed" weather report! for those working in offices back at home.)
:nodding: xxx

[simmo]

Yes we have been to Amadores Beach most of the afternoon and it was very warm and sunny.I have just looked at the weather report on www.wunderground.com (http://www.wunderground.com) and it says warm and sunny for the next two days and then thunder storms. So we will have to wait and see.

Well we had very strong winds in the north overnight last night.

Why is it that you leave a newpaper outside on the only night there is wind. My garden is now covered in newspaper!!

Skies have now cleared and all seems calm now

[MARCUS]

A very good afternoon viewers!
A very hot and sunny start to the day viewers! The cloud moved in from the mountains,creeping up on us bringing quite strong winds and the odd bit of rain.Currently windy,very grey.Perhaps not the best day for "convertibles" or the "hairdressers" Ladies! lol

Marcus(at home listening to an old "squeeze" cd) x

[simmo]

We went to Palmitos Park this afternoon, It was very dull and not very warm. we have just had rain for about an hour. Not looking very good.:sad:

[Owen]

Just been checking to see when this lousy weather is going to change (I have flu - started in Madrid last week where it was snowing and got worse here thanks to it being so wet and windy).

Forecast for the next 7 days is the same as today - around 20C tops as a high but with cloud and rain throughout the day - that's until Wednesday next week :( Not sure after that but this is the first time in 9 years I have seen the weather so bad for so long :0

[mary]

In the north - wind died down by about 5pm then this morning - its a lovely and sunny morning.

In Puerto Rico - some grey clouds that are moving towards the mountains so it might be ok.

Owen - drink lots of fluids (not alcohol) and hope you feel better soon

[Owen]

actually - pretty miserable this morning but now it's clear blue skies and sunshine

[MARCUS]

Yes viewers! what strange weather we have been having!! Yes it will be with us for a few days yet i am afraid.The morning started with a coffee whilst watching the rain.(i am easily entertained viewers!)The black cloud invaded us all day bringing a moderate breeze for most of the day.But i was enjoying the blue skies and sunshine here in Puerto Rico this afternoon as the temps got up to 28 degrees in the sunshine! Fresh fruit,a towel and a MP3 player were vital accessories whilst basking in the sun today and "friends" joined me for a swim later on.
Marcus:wacko: xxx

[mary]

Lots of rain overnight last night but the skies have cleared and at least for now it looks like a lovely day

[MARCUS]

Hello viewers!
Well a sleepless night last night with the rain hammering down and the wind causing my door to rattle just like a scene from "the excorsist" i also awoke to rain once again.The skies were grey and black,the waves crashing down,totaly bloody miserable!
But i did manage a 2 hour siesta today by the pool,soaking up the sun whilst it was available.
What is happening to the weather????

Marcus :wacko: xxx

[MARCUS]

Hello "again" viewers!
Well greetings from our island in the sun.....
The weather today seems to have calmed down a bit.A bit of cloud floating about(a bit like myself viewers)The sun was out for most of the day bringing us temperatures of about 28 degrees in the sun. A"spot of lunch" (fresh fruit) was served by the pool at 16.00 just before a "well earned" snooze in the sunshine.A delightful afternoon with very little breeze about.
Marcus :nodding: x

[simmo]

It was a lovely day in Puerto Mogan to-day. the temp. hit 30c. And better still our team beat Chelsea 3-0. :laugh:

[MARCUS]

Hello viewers!
Well while you were all freezing back at home,here was a very different story! A bit cloudy for most of the day,until about 16.00(my lunch time) When the sun was out it seemed very hot.At 18.00 i took a rather late"Daily stroll"(with an orange) and it was glorious.And on the way back there was about 50 couples holding hands watching the sunset on Amadores beach..........
Sun,cloudy and warm.
Marcus x
(it's nice to be romantic):wub:

[mary]

Raining in the north with occasional breaks in the clouds when the sun came through

[mary]

Rain overnight in the north and a bit cloudy this morning but the sun is trying to come through

In the south - looking out of the clinic window - blue skies with a few clouds inland, up the valley. Hopefully they'll stay there. Air feels warmer too, so hopefully thats a good sign

[MARCUS]

Well good evening viewers!
Well a glorious day it was today! a bit of cloud about earlier this morning,but a great afternoon on Amadores beach! The beach was very quiet,but blue skies all day with the sun shining all day and very hot! a nice swim in the sea to cool down(as cold as ice!!!)and a strong breeze at times.Top temperature today was about 29 degrees on the beach.(almost perfect weather viewers!)
Marcus :mellow: lol

[swifty]

yes it was a nice sunny day in pr. this morning.
the weather has picked up the last three days with temps of 16-18c ten at night on my way to the bars.
had black clouds and a bit of rain at the airport.
then plenty of cold rain and cold weather on return to home via machester airport at 20.30 tonight.
thankfully a friend had put the central heating on in my house for my return.
now planning next visit to the sun in a few months.

[MARCUS]

Happy valentines day!! lol
Just before we get involved in the weather report,if you are looking for a small valentine gift for your lady,i would like to recommend the newly re-released and packaged "Rod Stewart" if we fall in love tonight....... a great cd and wonderful gift viewers!!!

Now the "Valentine Weather report"
Well not a good day i am afraid viewers.The big black cloud hovered over most of the island all day today with no sunshine at all! much cooler temperatures today aswell.A great day for a "Daily Stroll" though,rather quiet out and about everywhere.
Marcus:rose: x

[MARCUS]

Hello viewers!
Another fantastic day today with the weather! A "daily stroll" to amadores beach this afternoon was most enjoyable,the beach was very quiet again,as i soaked up the sunshine 4 ft from the waters edge,whilst my"Friend" read her book i was swimming in the sea and then listening to "love songs" on my MP3 player.I would think that the temperatures were close to 28 degrees,but in the sea"bloody freezing!! lol)Blue skies the odd cloud about and a few "distractions"
(:bronwen:) wandering past from time to time throughout the afternoon...................

Marcus x:mellow:

[mary]

In the north - sunshine and a lovely day

In Puerto rico - blue skies - not a cloud in sight

[MARCUS]

Yes a quite delightful day here in Puerto Rico,blue skies for most of the day with the odd cloud drifting about.The walkway to amadores was quite busy,the sea calm and on arival at amadores beach it was absolutely rammed with people!! A full international cast including a german film crew making a movie at the waters edge.30 degrees at tops and a welcome swim was included in the afternoons precedings (The stray pidgeon that "stalked me" all afternoon was not so welcome)
Marcus
:dry: x

[mary]

Low cloud in the north all day today
In the south it was very bright but cloudy - still warm enough to be wearing shorts etc though
Had a very nice lunch on the beach at Arguineguin at Su bar, overlooking the cement works. Strange view but lovely fish etc
For forecasts look at- www.weather.com (http://www.weather.com). Make sure you find Gran Canaria Sur(south) as it will show very different weather to the shown for Norte,(north) or Las Palmas

[MARCUS]

Hello!!!:wacko:
Well viewers not good news yet again i am afraid! The weather yesterday and to day have been overcast and bloody miserable!(well,almost!) much cooler temperatures all round ideal for a "stroll"about,but sunbathing would "not" be on the cards.
Marcus .(reporting from an "exceptionaly" quiet Puerto Rico.)

[mary]

Yesterday - went to Playa where it was cloudy and miserable. Should have stayed in the North - it was a lovely sunny day!!

[pedro2704]

I have looked on www.weather.co.uk (http://www.weather.co.uk) at Gran Canaria Sur and this says 19 degrees also. Thought it's been nearer 30 lately hasn't it? I hope it's warm from next Monday! I land at around 4pm ish!:banana:

[mary]

In the north its been cloudy today with occasional sunshine - according to my little temperature thingy i bought in Decathalon, its 18.4 degrees at the moment.
In the south today it was much hotter than that - definite sunbathing weather, not clear blue skies but good enough - dont know the temp as I dont have a temperature thingy down there

[mary]

There has been more cloud over Playa this past week and usually Puerto Rico has more sunshine than that of playa just around the corner. But then, usually the south is better than the north but last saturday was great in the north and horrible in the south.
I was in Playa del Ingles on saturday and although it wasnt sunny, I wouldn't say it was brutal
North to south is only 40 mins ( Puerto Rico - Las Palmas) so if the weather isn't great then hop in a car and chase the sun

[mary]

dont worry - weather reports show sunny with a little cloud - 18 degrees (add on a bit in reality) for next week

[MARCUS]

Relax viewers!(i am!!)
Now the weather is fine! A glorious day today "UK Viewers" i had my siesta today with a well rewarded "snooze" by the pool.It was very hot,blue skies with the odd cloud about, and the top temperature slammed in today at 30 degrees.(hot enough for you viewers?) and a nice swim to "round the afternoon off" viewers.
At home it's freezing but here it's glorious!!!

Been a lovely morning in Puerto Rico. Clouds are coming in a bit now but still warm.
There was the usual cloud in the north this morning.

[MARCUS]

Hello!!
Well another lovely day yet again viewers! a little bit of cloud floating about but mainly blue skies all day.I had a 2 hour siesta this afternoon by the poolside(with the usual accessories) it was 29 degrees "in the sun".(rather nice for a Tuesday afternoon)
Just like to say again that the temperatures that you read in the papers are taken from Las Palmas where it is normaly much cooler.My temperatures are accurate and as seen on the clocks in Puerto rico.

Blue blue skies this morning. Chilly still in the evenings and early mornings but looks like a good beach day today

Another delightful day again viewers! the blue skies were there,a cool breaze coming straight off the atlantic ocean and there was i basking in the glorious sunshine for "most"of the afternoon.During a snooze and munching on" fresh fruit" i noticed the temperature was 30 degrees in the sunshine.
Absolutely gorgeous!

[stevo preston uk]

Just a note to say that i have checked all weather sites and asked people who are living thier and who have just returned home. They all say the same thing that it never gets past 25 degrees and hasnt done for a long time? More like 18 and lots of cloud(Even Gran Canaria Sur and Maspalomas). The Satalite pictures prove this as well? Do you live in a Sun bed shop or has all the fresh fruit gone to your head? LOL:boozy:

[Sandy]

When we were there three weeks ago it was hitting about 28 degrees.

Some days were cloudy but when the sun came out I can assure you it was defo over 25 degrees. I think it also depends where you are. In the south it is hot but the north is a lot cooler. :cool:

I have to say Marcus is pretty accurate with his weather reports.
but he is giving you the temperature in the sunshine not the shade where your official reports are taken from so i guess 22-23 degrees in the shade may well be 30 in direct sunshine.
marcus keep eating you fruit and carry on supplying us with your tasty comments.

Try going to www.weathergrancanaria.com (http://www.weathergrancanaria.com) and opening web-cam (overlooking beach and sea) and see for yourself! Its got all the weather data you need on it. I've been (rather sadly I admit) looking at it daily while at work since December, and Marcus's reports always co-incide with the warmest and nicest looking days on the web-cam.
As for temperatures, usually peaking between 22-25c, but note the sun strength (UV levels) up to 8.7 so far this year, 8 would be exceptional for the UK on the very hottest days in June/July for the UK, so be careful, someone pale like me will burn in just 15 mins at that level.:angryfire:

Out to PR next Tuesday! Can't Wait! Tiffany's here I come!

:grin:

[MARCUS]

Another glorious day again viewers! It started off with a blanket of cloud above us for most of the day.But by 14.30(ish) the sun was out in full force.A slight breeze in the air today and slightly cooler temperatures from yesterday.But of course as i "relaxed" this afternoon by the pool eating "bananas" and a "hand picked orange" from Mogan Village earlier this morning,I couldn't help but wonder just "how cold" it was back in the uk viewers??? Snow and rain they tell me!!
Sunshine,a bit overcast and a cool 27 degrees at it's very best!

Marcus (overdosed on "fruit and sunshine"..........)

P.S
Don't take things too seriously viewers as life is too short,but wrap up warm!

Mary/Marcus usually give the daily weather report in the evening, and it is an essential part of this forum. Keep up the good work both !!!!!!!

A lovely day in the north today - makes a change.
PR this morning was hot and sunny - a few clouds over PDI though but I'm sure they'll move

[MARCUS]

Well viewers!
Yes you are absolutely right! It was an overcast day with loads of cloud about.But the sun did come out for a while this afternoon.Although overcast it was very warm and i did notice that "my suntan" has been enhanced! So just because it's cloudy,becareful because you can burn!!(not quite on the scale of "Joan of Arc" but you must becareful viewers!)
So todays temps were about 26 degrees here in Puerto Rico this afternoon.

Well the weather today at my house in the north is lovely - blue skies and hot in the sunshine.
Hubby and son have just been up to San Mateo this afternoon and the clouds were so thick that they could only just see the end of the car.


Have a good trip redswan x

Now will you all stop flapping about the bloody weather!! Relax the lot of you!!(you see,now you have been told!!;) )
The weather is sunny as i am typing! i have just had an afternoon snooze by the pool and it has been gorgeous! A bit cooler than yesterday and a breeze in the air and the odd cloud about,but the sun is out and has been all afternoon! 26 degrees today,a bit cooler today."Wrap up warm" viewers! and if you could excuse me now as i am off for a swim in my pool..................................x

[MARCUS]

a great start to the day with sunshine and blue skies(with respect to ELO)But by 15.00 the big black cloud came back! I took a daily stroll once again which was rather nice but quite windy at times.The coastal walk seems to be reopened after "A body" was found a few days ago.Amadores beach was quiet but enjoyed an afternoon swim before strolling home.
26 degrees,sunny with clouds about.
Marcus
:dry: hmm

[mary]

The north this morning looked lovely - clear blue skies - a hot day

The south looks good but there are clouds at sea - we'll have to see what happens with those

[MARCUS]

Viewers!
Not a good day i am afraid,it started off ok and then came the "Return of the big black cloud" with a moderate breeze and the odd drizzle of rain(only a tiny bit so calm down!) still warm though.
Marcus (a weather report without my lunch menu)
:wacko: x

[MARCUS]

Good afternoon vewers!
And so the Canary islands go on "storm alert" one more time,as from last night.The high winds kicked into place at about 22.00 and haven't stopped yet.The winds are currently "battering" the islands right now,no boat excursions,you can sea the waves pounding over the harbour walls.The winds were forcasted according to the police and could reach 120 km per hour.No beach,no pool and no daily stroll as it is quite unpleasant outside.The sun has been out though and quite hot in a sheltered area(such as my balcony).
Bloody awful.

It was certainly windy yesterday in the south. Tried to get to bar Pio Pio in Taurito for lunch but combined with high tide and wind, we couldnt get along the beach.
It seems less today in the south.

In the north yesterday was sunny and high winds for the last two nights.

Dont worry everyone, these things usually last only a few days. it'll be fine by the weekend. In fact weather reports say its going to lovely for the next 10 days

Just back from a week in GC. Hot when the sun was out (28 degrees), about 22 when the sun was in. Chilly in the evenings though, about 17 degrees, defo jumper material!

Raining last night when I left too, and v windy!

Did some mountain biking in the centre of the island, a lot of trails are washed away, and the road was closed from mogan -> ayacata due to landslide, I had to clamber up to the road above to avoid! Shows there has been a lot of rain around!

Went to the carnival on Saturday in las palmas, great fun.

[MARCUS]

Dear viewers!
The day started with the "Big black cloud" lurking about.Then came the rain.Very mixed up throughout most of the day.(not a good day for the haidressers Ladies!) the wind was in full force but not as bad as yesterday.and then........
at 16.30 the clouds shifted,and the wind died down and it was time for a daily stroll! shorts and t shirt and shades were already as the temperatures were a cool 23 degrees the sun stayed out for the rest of the afternoon,and it was absolutely gorgeous(and so were some of the views "onroute":glare: )
Well that seems to be the end of the storm it's nice to have the sunshine back!
Marcus (still in shorts........) x

[mary]

When i left the north this morning, it was cloudy and unsure how it was going to be today.

In the south it is blue skies. A few clouds up the valley but generally a lovely day

[MARCUS]

Dearest viewers!
And so it's freezing back at home is it?(we know it is!!! hmmm) well whilst you are all wrapped up and scraping the ice from you car windscreens turn up your central heating and enjoy todays weather report viewers........
A delightful day today,the storm has now left us and it has been blue skies all day with very little cloud,the sea a bit unsettled and the waves crashing against the rocks once again like a "Johnny hates jazz 80's pop video" but quite warm today(t shirt and shorts viewers) by the pool whilst eating mandarin oranges i recorded 27 degrees in the sunshine.The swimming pool rather cold but most welcome.
a fantastic day!
Yours faithfuly,

Yes viewers! another lovely day over here in the Sunny Canaries.Blue skies all day and the sun shining all day.Slightly warmer here in Puerto Rico with the top temp today at 27 degrees.A spot of lunch by the pool during my siesta was delicious.(fruit and yoghurt).
Not only is the weather much better now as it should be this time of the year it is also getting dark later.
19.12 daylight here in Puerto Rico

Today in the north - back to wind and rain with occasional sunny periods

Dearest viewers!
Well today couldn't be more perfect (apart from my hideous attack of flu:sad: ) anyway......
Blue skies all day with not one cloud in the sky.A slight breeze in the air,and the birds tweeting in the palm trees above.It was slightly hotter today so a swim was required to cool down.Today was the perfect winters day here in the Canary islands with temperatures up to a cool 28 degrees.
Marcus x

[mary]

Yesterday, the day started bright and sunny but then a haze came over the island - so very warm but dusty haze everywhere.

Today, much the same, very warm - thinking about needing the air con on - must be calima (much like a sirocco - hot spell then windy but with hot wind from the sahara - hence the haze)

[fee]

Just checked out the sonrisa yachting weather page - it shows a high of 27.9 has been reached today !!! WOW - can't wait to get there ! I can see the haze on the webcam but it still looks better than what I can see out of my window !!

[mary]

One of the temperature gauges down by the beach hit 30 degrees today.

One thing though that has made me giggle today - my son informs me that his school geography field trip to maspalomas tomorrow has been cancelled, as the island is on red alert for reaching high temperatures tomorrow.

[MARCUS]

Yes,is it really that cold at home? Well what a hot day it was today viewers!! Very hot,and a lot of haze as the "sirrocco" style dust storm hits us here once again.Quite a breeze at times and the sun was shining all day long viewers.The top temperature today was 31 degrees as i enjoyed a relaxing siesta viewers basking in the Canarian sunshine with "Mandarin oranges" and "a dip in the pool" to cool myself down..........
Marvelous!

Marcus :wacko: x

[mary]

Well it wasnt as hot yesterday as was predicited but it was still a lovely day.

In the north today - low cloud over Las Palmas but still warm

In the south - blue skies, not a cloud anywhere.

Slop on the suncream, slap on a T shirt, slip on a hat

[stevo preston uk]

Wot a hot day it has been today not a fluffy thing in the sky in playa. Perfect day for spending at Aqualand which i did today. Which was infestated with LIZARDS. Temp today must have been in the high 20,s.
Sorry Marcus for not beliveing your weather reports. Must go now i need to put some aftersun on.

[Alter Egotist]

Hey All.

29-30 degress degrees as we speak.

im in the internet caf by eurospar on main pr beach front cowering from the sun. (My pail skin needs time to adjust you know).

God its great to be back.

[MARCUS]

Well viewers it looks like summer is here at last! whilst you are all enjoying the "miserable" rain and snow in the uk,over here it is a very different story.........
Today(Saturday)Blue skies all day as once again i enjoyed a few hours by the pool this afternoon enjoying my siesta.I noticed very little breeze whilst eating fresh pinapple and Papaya with added "MP3 entertainment" today from "Paul Carrack"
a rewarding swim in the pool( just a few feet away) was glorious as the temperatures crept up to 30 degrees.
Marcus
:wacko: x

[mary]

Well yesterday was a lovely day - blue skies everywhere but a little windy for us in PDI, so we went to Anfi beach instead. Water was freezing - I didn't venture in past my toes but Hubby and son said it was fine once you were in.

Today, another hot day. So far - 20.9 in the shade but it feels like its going to be a hot one

[Alter Egotist]

Hey all in out of the sun again 2day for a break. Was 31 when I left the beach yesterday. Its 27 at the mo and my poor pail freckly skin is melting. Started a hazy day here but defo making up for it in a big way. The love of my life is out basking in ultimate satisfaction while I´m cowering in the shade reading my book. Loving it all the same. Had a great dive yesterday and three more to go on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The visibility is great because of the good weather so long may it last.

Wishing I had more time here to be honest.

AL.

[MARCUS]

Dearest viewers!
And so,as the uk is attacked with snow and cold weather causing some uk airports to close! over here was quite splendid. Blue skies,calm seas and a very slight breeze today. I(myself) was enjoying the glorious sunshine viewers with an "old friend"(a forum member) eating fresh fruit and" idle chit chat" by the pool with the occasional "splash" due to the rather hot weather again today."31 degrees" was the temperature at its very best today as my tan would even make "Errol Brown" feel slightly envious.......

yesterday reached 35* in my garden in El Monte in the North. Las Canteras Sunday Was 32* as we dont get the souths wind up here. Sunday evening even was nice at a cool 22. Today Suns back out lovely!!!!!

[mary]

Sorry - busy doing other stuff yesterday!!!

Today, cloudy in the north and so a bit cooler than it has been for a few days - just read maxines' report - clouds must have moved off there too as she lives just up the road from me

South started off cloudy but looks like they are moving inland, leaving the beach with clear blue skies

[MARCUS]

And i also have been busy with a rather "hectic schedule" !! i think some of our uk viewers must think that i sit on a beach all afternoon stuffing myself on coconuts!!!
now lets get on with the weather...........
a delightful day yet again,the birds were tweeting in the palm trees once again,and the skies were blue,the beaches were busy as always as it was rather hot again with temperatures creeping up to 31 degrees.(Not a snowman in sight!)

Oh what a beautiful morning
Oh what a beautiful day

Sunshine, clear blue skies with the occasional fluffy cloud, all over the island

[Spenny]

Well its our penultimate day in Puerto Rico having the spent the previous 12 days in the resort and I have to say the weather has been absolutely out of this world.

Apart from one day when a Calima blocked out the sun for most of the day today has been the worst day only because we actually have seen clouds for the frist time!

Temps have been up in the 90´s for the most of our stay!

Not looking forward to the snow that was falling in Dublin this morning

[mary]

Well, today is a bit different. This morning in the north was lovely and sunny.

When we arrived at the clinic, in PR this morning, it was a little cloudy but those little clouds have become big clouds and it looks a bit grey and dismal today and windy too

[MARCUS]

Dear viewers!
And so the Canary islands are on alert once again.Strong winds are causing problems on the islands including here in Gran Canaria.We have had rain today,rather heavy at times in Mogan.Ladies! Not the ideal weather for "Hair straighteners" or "Blue rinses" "Extra strong" hair spray comes highly recommended.

awful today....but cant complain last two weeks have been great...

In the north today - clear blue skies again with a slight breeze.

[swifty]

nice and warm at start of february,
on a sunny day it is plenty warm enough for a cruise.
in fact it was a lot sunnier out at sea than on the land when i was there.

[MARCUS]

Well viewers!
After a night of very strong winds that blasted there way through the island in a "John Rambo" kind of fashion.Today has been rather nice,a slight breeze wafting about and the sun shining all day with the odd cloud about.Cooler temperatures today of only 29 degrees,perfect for,"Relaxing Cruises",sunbathing on the beach or by the pool and glorious Walks in the countryside (a pleasant stroll).

Good evening viewers!
Another gorgeous day here in the "sunny Canaries" a bit of cloud about and a slight breeze at times,and a delighful afternoon was spent relaxing by the pool eating "oranges"(peeled personally by an old friend)rather nice for a sunday afternoon with 29 degrees and sunny all day viewers.

Well it wasnt that good in the north - Las Palmas beach was nice on Sunday apparently but up at my house was cloudy with the occasional drizzle.

Puerto Rico loks sunny today with a few black clouds up the valley - lets hope they move up and not down to the beach

Hello again.............are you sitting comfortably? then i shall begin.....
a delightful day over here viewers,a rather large black cloud was hovering above us for most of the day,but i "hauled" my ageing flip flops from the bottom of my wardrobe (a clear sign that a "daily stroll" was on the cards)
a sunny afternoon on amadores beach,not many people about today,but quite relaxing at the waters edge,whilst chatting with yet another "old friend" and then a swim in the sea(bloody freezing)to round the afternoon off.Top temperatures were a cool 27 degrees.

Another sunny day in PR today.
Clear blue skies this morning in the north this morning too.

[MARCUS]

Hello viewers!!
well another gorgeous day today! the perfect winters day.The odd black cloud hovering in the hills but on the beach it was absolutely gorgeous.Any of you in your "centrally heated" offices back at home watching Amadores beach on the webcam today,you might of spotted me at the waters edge,i was the one in the "lime green" shorts and the "David Hasselhoff" hair do.
The perfect day,29 degrees and sunny!!

[mary]

beautiful day today in the north but a few clouds hovering around in the south - they hopefully burn off later though

[MARCUS]

A marvelous afternoon on Amadores beach today 28 degrees,
"idle chit" chat with a friend 2 ft from the waters edge,a swim in the sea and then basked in the afternoon sunshine......
lovely.
Marcus :glare: x

[mary]

another day with blue skies all over the island

[MARCUS]

Yes another lovely day today! blue skies and an enjoyable afternoon on Amadores beach(quite busy) swimming,chatting and relaxing the afternoon away.29 degrees today(although it felt hotter!!)a few "lizards" out and about on the coastal walk.
your'e missing the lovely sunshine viewers!!!

Saturday 25th march.
Another lovely day again.A glorious afternoon on Amadores beach,absolutely packed with mainly Canarians.I was at the waters edge to cool down,a "fruit" lunch was delicious(whilst being watched by a friendly pigeon)A screaming child caused my irritation levels to rise,and then reminded me of "Damien"(The Omen)but nicely drowned out by my MP3 player listening to the "bee gees" love songs.....
As the clocks change tonight it was obvious that summer is here as the temperatures climbed to 33 degrees today.

[mary]

Lovely day in the north today too- temp's reached 32 degrees on Las Canteras. The beach has had some sand washed away in the winter storms so its a bit more stony than it used to be and the waves were huge - I couldn't persuade my son to go surfing today

[mary]

Overcast in the south today although yesterday in the north was lovely - sometimes you have to chase the sun here but it's always shining somewhere on the island

[MARCUS]

Yes Mary is absolutely right! sometimes you do have to "chase the sun" sometimes!(not in a "Duncan Norvelle" way though)....
There was no need for chasing in the end though, as the day ended in perfection,i took an afternoon stroll to the beach in the glorious sunshine(and very hot!)the birds were singing and a slight breeze about.Amadores beach was not busy but wonderful,the sea was slamming against the shore with the force of an "F16" and i swam through the waves like "Johnny Weissmuller" a fruit lunch was served at 16.30 whilst watching the "days attractions" before a slow "amble" home.
29 degrees tops,a slight breeze.Marvelous!

:banghead:

[mary]

Blue skies and no clouds so far today on the island. A bit hazy in the north but otherwise a lovely day

[BlonDane]

Very windy in PDI today but lovely anyway!!!!

[chorlton]

A hazy start to today, spent the day on Amadores where there was a slight breeze which made it seem cooler than it was. Still warm down there at 7pm though!

[chorlton]

Woke up to fog this morning in Puerto Rico and quite cool (8.55am) - hopefully the sun will burn it off pretty sharpish!

[julia]

:) Its very Warm and Windstill up here in the Mountains. With a Hazy Sky

[chorlton]

Ended up being a lovely day. Fog all burnt off by 10am. Temps at the beach tonight at 7pm...well one said 28 degrees and one said 32 so probably somewhere in between. Breezy at amadores which belies how hot it really was.

[MARCUS]

Yes viewers! we had thick fog this morning(rather early)The first i have seen in all my years here.But it soon disappeared faster than a "robbers dog" and the sun returned once again.A very hot day indeed,i took a late afternoon stroll to Amadores beach armed with the usual supply of "Mandarin oranges"(i'm rather partial)and relaxed at the waters edge.After watching a remarkable amount of quite stunning attractions left me in need of a well earned swim to cool down.(as one does)31 degrees and sunny viewers.It's all happening on the beach viewers....................!!!
:D x

[MARCUS]

Hello Viewers!;)
What a splendid day today!(Saturday) blue skies,and the sea calm with the waves crashing against the rocks and into the caves just like and old "Lassie" movie.I took a daily stroll once again to Amadores beach( late afternoon) to be met by a packed beach.A delightful swim in the warm sea,but on return to my beach towel i was greeted by two pigeons attacking my "salami roll" which they had "eased out" of my rucsack.
Now what was the temperature? are you seated viewers? it got to 35 degrees!!
Marcus ;)

[mary]

Went to la garita beach today - not as hot as 35 and the clouds came over after lunch but still lovely - better really as not too hot

[chorlton]

Another scorcher today - slight breeze which I would imagine you feel more when at the beach. temp gauge said 33 degs mid afternoon.

[MARCUS]

Yes viewers another hot day today!
34 degrees top temperature and i(myself) spent most of the afternoon in the "swimming pool" to cool down! oh and just incase you were worrying viewers,the "Mandarin oranges" were only a few feet away..............(along with "other" forum members)
Marcus ;) x

[mary]

Las Canteras was very very busy today - so busy that you had to hop bewtween the towels to get to the beach. Nice cool breeze coming off the sea though so a nicer place to be rather than my house where it was really hot with not even a puff of wind (or a butterfly's fart)

[chorlton]

High cloud this morning in Puerto Rico but was developing into another hot sunny day when we headed back to the airport :-(

[Stephen]

My sister is in PR at the moment , she arrived today(early evening)and rang and said it was 29 degrees

[Phil]

For daily puerto Rico weather updates have a look here:

[mary]

The last few days have been really hot. In the north we now have a cool breeze which is nice. The evenings are now warm and so a light jacket is the most you will need, if at all.

[MARCUS]

Well yes the temperatures are very high now(and so they should be for this time of the year!)As for what to wear,well i will now be found in shorts(day and night)for the next six months.Temperatures in the south should now be holding at 33 to 35 degrees most days.The best time for the beach is from 16.00 until 20.00.(Mandarin oranges to be eaten at intervals)remember that the odd splash in the sea will be needed and also will excelerate your tan.(The best tan is always from the beach rather than the pool)Keep an eye on your kids as the sun is now very strong.And drink plenty of water.
Todays temperatures got to 34 degrees in the south.

[BIG GAZ]

WELL EVERYONE MARCUS IS RIGHT.JUST GOT BACK LAST NIGHT FROM PR, WEATHER HAS BEEN FANTASTIC FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS.TEMPERATURE WAS 34 WHEN COMING OFF THE BEACH AT 19.30 ON SUNDAY.COUNTING THE WEEKS TO OUR NEXT VISIT NOW,CAN'T WAIT:packed:

[mary]

Not quite so hot today which is a relief to us residents - a few clouds in the sky to give you some respite - but still very warm

[BlonDane]

Very windy today in Playa del Ingles!!! My skirt flew up when I had just turned around the corner where there where problems with a trafficjam and some guys where directing it...(so I had quite an audience!) The traffic flow stopped all together though as the skirt flew up and I did a "Marilyn MOnroe" so noone came to any harm- but I am a bit embaressed!
Temperature is nice! Not too hot and not too cold:-)

[oor wullie]

http://www.playa-amadores.com/ or http://www.weathergrancanaria.com/ wow look at those black clouds.

[mary]

Yesterday went to Anfi beach - lovely day - no wind.
Today - a few clouds around. It seemed better around Vecindario - sunny etc.
V. Cloudy in the north

here you go

[Nikki]

Well it's 7.35pm and it's been a really hot one today(and still is). The beachs are packed with the canarians being a Saturday. I beleive Marcus has gone the beach today as he is not by the pool, so I am sure he will give you the best update as I was working in this beautiful sunshine. ...the down side of living here. Having to work on beautiful days like this.....Yes Sunday tomorrow:thumb: :D

[MARCUS]

Yes Nikki ! Marcus did go to the beach and has just returned home at 20.20. all tanned and "fruited up".......
What a fabulous day it was aswell,i took a late afternoon stroll to the beach which was rather pleasant.A sunny day with blue skies and the birds were once again tweeting above in the trees(infact one was chirping so loud that it reminded me of the bird in the 70's childrens programme"Hectors House")are you still with me viewers?
Both beaches were very busy(very few british about) i got a spot at the "waters edge" and after a swim in the sea enjoyed a selection of mandarin oranges(X4) and a tasty yoghurt.
29 degrees was todays top temperatures on the beach.

:thankyou: (thankyou,most kind)

[BlonDane]

Wonderful weather in Playa del Ingles too! No wind today blowing up people´s skirts!!
:thumb:

[BlonDane]

Dark clouds and very windy!! So no short skirts in PDI today, folks!!!

[mary]

We went to banaderos and it was very cloudy yesterday but great rock pool s once the tide went down.
Today looks like its going to be a lovely day with the odd cloud floating around

[BlonDane]

Absolutely fab day today in Playa del Ingles :nodding: - even though I had to go to the dentist...:sadguy:

I actually walked all the way from El Tablero (from the dentist) and home to the San Fernando/ Veril end of Playa del Ingles! Beautiful walk!!!:thumb:

Even though I was drewling people I met on the way where very nice and talkative.

[mary]

Well its not sunny today. Huge black/blue clouds over PR and then lightening over the mountains. Very dramatic. Not much rain though - or not much useful rain.
Same in the north. Predicted for dodgy weather for the next couple of days. Typical, when I'm taking a couple of days off too.

[MARCUS]

Hello again viewers!;)
What a bloody awful day! as "Semana Santa" has arrived,so are the Canarians with car loads of "carrefour" shopping bags,bringing "the world and there wife" including the grandmother clutching on to the portable tv for "24 hour viewing" whilst being crammed into the apartment with 9 others! The weather is miserable as it has been raining on and off,lightning flying through the skies throughout the morning.No sun bathing,not good for a "daily stroll" either as the rain is forcast for tomorrow aswell.The only highlight of the day was an "attractive blond" that i bumped into this morning that sent my concentration levels into complete "disarray"................
Marcus x

[mary]

Wet weather was predicted for Wed, Thurs and tomorrow, Friday but today a slight wind started developing from Africa which usually is followed by a hot spell.
Today cloudy in the north

[MARCUS]

So you really want to know what the weather is like do you?
Here is a "live weather report"
Grey clouds,and constant rain for the last couple of hours!
"Absolutely Bloody miserable"!!!(well you did ask....)
Infact it reminds me of my days of selling double glazing in the uk,knocking on doors in the pooring rain!(only to be told politely to "foxtrot oscar")
apparently more rain forecasted for tomorrow..........
Marcus:cry:

[mary]

It was hubby who said that hot weather is on its way .......... pouring it down here in the north this evening

[mary]

Rained all night in the north - sun is now trying to break through. Hope its nicer in the south for all of you and for my aircon installers - They made a hole in the roof for some of the pipework - I hope they closed it off before the rain came

[BlonDane]

Lovely day in PDI. A bit humid after the nights rain, but hot hot hot!!!:thumb:
Sat on the porch studying for my exams - was like a sauna I tell You!!! My one thigh is more red than the other...
:ohmy:

[MARCUS]

Viewers!(and to those of you have just "tuned in")
Well todays weather report comes from Palmitos Park(on location)
so yes after a night of non stop rain,which left my car once again like "the blue lagoon" a day out in Palmitos Park was on the cards......
Blue skies and a bit of cloud,but sunny and hot were the ingredients of todays weather.A pleasant stroll around the park today(very busy) and a spot of lunch in the gardens surrounded by "tropical birds"(lol)
a delicious pizza was for lunch,whilst the komodo dragon was enjoying his lunch(a juicy rat).an "after dinner snooze" was most welcome under a palm tree in the shade before returning home........
29 degrees and sunny and very hot at times!
Marcus x:mellow:

[mary]

Well the weather seems to have picked up again.
A few fluffy clouds in the north this morning and lovely blue skies in the south.
Son and hubby went on Big Red today for the first time - Awesome was the comment from 11 year son.

[BlonDane]

Another lovely study-day today on my porch. :nodding: Sun shining. Blue skies. Comfortably hot.

This time trying to make the suntanned bits more even... Did not succed!:banghead:

[mary]

A lovely day all over the island. Spent the day cleaning the clinic after a month of builders. Nearly finished now, a good clean was in order. Very hot in PR today.
Came back via La Garita where Imet up with hubby, son and friends for lunch. A bit breezy on the beach but nice all the same

[mary]

A bit drizzly in the north this morning - just a few drops of rain.

In Puerto Rico - nice and sunny, a few clouds but hopefully they'll stay away from the beach

[HELEN8]

Thank-you for your daily forcasts both informative and entertaining the excitment is mounting as time goes on As this is our 2nd visit but 1st time to P.D.I we are hoping it will live up to all the good reports Bye for now got to clip the cats claws or did I mean Gordons wings? Helen

[MARCUS]

Happy Easter Viewers!
Monday 17th April(Not a bank holiday over here)
Well good evening to you all,i hope you are not all still "stuffed" on easter eggs?We don't seem to have them here in Spain,so not a "Sniff" of an easter egg or even a sexy "easter bunny" with floppy ears and stiletto heels came crawling towards my apartment door(No luck viewers:sadguy: )

Anyway let's get on with todays weather..........
A splendid day,the sun was shining for most of the day, a lot of cloud about(rather hazy) quite warm at times.After an "eventful" morning it was nice to enjoy a late afternoon siesta by the pool side with a "delicious peach" and a "Sparkling mineral water"(with a slice of lemon)
most pleasant.

[mary]

Another lovely day here in GC. North and south. A few clouds up the valley but as usual, hopefully they'll stay there and not come down to the beach.

Easter eggs could be found in BIG and lovely Lindt chocolate bunnies could be found in Al Campo. Noone bought me one and so I never wore my bunny ears

[BlonDane]

It is a bit "nippy" today so a very good day for doing something active out in the sun! Maybe I´ll find out where m y daily stroll will go from now on... So far I have only strolled around for shopping and my wallet is suffering from it!!! Maybe a stroll down to the beach....after the siesta.. or mañana!!!;)
Playa del Ingles

[BlonDane]

Ended up in another shopping center yesterday - well I´ll find the beach some time soon I guess.
Today was windy here in Playa del Ingles but still able to wear shorts and tee. Had a little trouble with the wind turning the pages of my book, though. Well I do have very big problems, eih!!
:D

[mary]

Not a good day in the north. Spots of rain and low grey cloud.

Didnt go south today - school hols, child care - you know the sort of thing
Dr Paul had to cope alone

[BlonDane]

An absolutely fantastic day in PDI today!!! At one time I saw 30 degrees displayed on one of those temp poles. It had been even hotter earlier.
:banana:
Lovely stroll down to the beach which was packed!! Yes, I finally found my way down to the beach!!! Only to walk back home, as I´m not really a beach person. Don´t have the patience - but next time maybe if I bring a book..

[BlonDane]

Marvelous day again yesterday - got a sunburn after only half an hour on the sunroof, even with sunlotion on..Must have a look at a new lotion maybe..
Today is a nother matter completely:sadguy: Well so far anyway..
It is all grey clouds and wearing the longsleeved!

[mary]

This morning was a very cloudy day in the north and even a bit of rain. in the south - by the time we got there at about 2ish - blue skies and very hot. lovely day all in all

[MARCUS]

Hello Viewers!!:glare:
How are you all today? enjoying the "drizzle" in the uk?
Well the weather has been very good all week,"roasting" in Palmitos park on Friday(whilst talking to the "yellow beaked toucan")(a tropical american bird)
And this afternoon was glorious as i(myself) relaxed at the poolside with an orange,banana and a yoghurt. A peaceful afternoon was disturbed at times by neighbours displaying there ongoing"marital problems" from there balcony( and loud enough to fill wembley arena)
32 degrees and sunny all day with a pleasant but strong breeze at times.

[mary]

Cloudy and windy on the north today but hot hot hot in the south. Lovely temperature by the evening though. Nice to sit on the terrace and watch the cars whizzing around the roundabout at the top of PR
