Fields may be flooded, but the water is not saved. Even so, the percentage of extreme drought has reduced from 75% in October 2017 to just 1.3% in February.

83% of the country was said to be in a condition of severe drought as of 28th February. We shall have to wait a few days before the figures are updated.

Whenever there is heavy rain as we have had this past month, those fields get flooded. Obviously you have not been looking!!!!!

Yes I guess the dreaded climate change is to blame !
Hope there is more rain for the farmers and it stops just in time
for our visit in four weeks time !
But that’s what everyone wants 😊]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2018 12:06:32 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/drought_topic10023_post104805.html#104805 https://albufeira.com/forum/drought_topic10023_post104798.html#104798 Author: Andrew

Most of the rain down here simply runs off into drains, efforts to capture it are very poor I am afraid to say.  Fifty or a hundred years ago the cisterns would have been full, now they are neglected as water comes out of pipes doesn't it? A couple of weeks ago the situation was still pretty dire in many regions, it should have improved by now.

A few days ago this doom and gloom item was published by a noted academic. You don't need to know Portuguese to translate the heading.

By all reports, the country is not out of the woods yet with regard to getting the reservoirsback to their normal levels. Probably need a bit more rain to sort this out.

I’ve just noticed Dicey’s post on the weather forum about the river gushing so I guess my question is answered

Hi guys,
Has all the rain in this month helped the drought situation at all?
I was reading in November that it was the worst of the last 100 years!]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2018 12:07:35 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/drought_topic10023_post104774.html#104774
