Currently in Bordeaux, where it has been 34 or 35º, very humid and hardly a breathe of wind. This morning, Friday, very cloudy and 24º. Several days of showers forecast from Saturday with temperatures only in the mid 20's. Nice to have some weather. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

| Now day 2 NO RAIN in Belfast. were expecting a few thunder showers Wednesday Thursday but wont be enough to stop a hosepipe ban. Madness 3 weeks no rain and in May we had 8inches of rain 6.5 in June July will be known as hottest driest Mth ever with 3 new high temps 17-24 31.2 then 31.3 and Armagh has recorded highest of 31.4. temps would be great if sitting in old town watching the puppet show or clown but doing day to day work its bad. |

Weather here continues cool and cloudy with occasional showers, some quite heavy. Temperature struggling to reach 24º. On a side note, there is no curfew here with some bars open until 2am and music etc outdoors until 1130 ish. On the downside mask wearing at ALL times when out in the streets is now back in force in many towns and cities in the region. This was announced last night with effect from this morning and has obviously surprised many. From Sunday a pass will be needed to go into any cinema, theatre or similar, museums, galleries, libraries, long distance trains and coaches, restaurants and bars - at any time - even shopping centres should local authorities so decide. Needless to say there is considerable disquiet about this. Rather sarcastically some even suggested that those not fully
vaccinated, which in France is about half the adult population, should
wear some distinguishing mark on their clothing to make it easier to
identify them. As you might imagine, that caused quite an uproar. Some are comparing the idea of this two tier society with the Occupation of 1940 - 1945. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Better weather here yesterday and today (24º) but a very wet and very windy weekend is forecast. A depression in the Bay of Biscay is the cause. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Yesterday was fairly pleasant, 24º but a bit windy. I overdid the cycling a bit and somehow strained my back. Ow, ow! This morning has started cloudy and a heavy rain shower has just passed over. Still not very summery. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Very cloudy this morning and it rained hard for a couple of hours at lunchtime. Better now, nice evening, though a rather cool 22º. A band is tuning up for a performance on the square. They will hope it doesn't end as abruptly as last Saturday night, with lightning and a very heavy shower out of almost nothing. Beer's gone up, €3 for a demi (25cl) so my waistline should be improving with necessary rationing in force. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Morning sky after a rainy night. From the look of the forecast, this just about sums up today and the rest of the week| https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">

| Hi Tom Have you been to the Dune du Pilat south of Arcachon or round to pointe du Cape Ferret. If not worth a visit. |

I have been to the Dune du Pilat and almost did myself permanent damage climbing to the very top! Worth it and a very nice walk along the sand for miles and a bus back to Arcachon. I've not been to Cap Ferret. I could go this weekend but not unless the weather improves! Last night was very stormy, woken up I was by rain hammering against the shutters, which at least I remembered to lower this time. Rained a lot and was very windy today while I was out biking. Those of you living on UK coasts would appreciate the weather today. Now a question. What is this? https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  About 4" (10cm) long, it was ambling across a road in deepest countryside. I tried a reverse image search but didn't get any results, probably because of the background. It was moving at a fair rate of knots, I only managed the one decent shot. The area is fairly low lying with lots of drainage ditches and water channels. Possibly some kind of freshwater crayfish or lobster? The legs were quite orange.

A stormy night on Wednesday, a fairly rainy day yesterday and it was very windy during the evening and last night. But today, Friday, shock horror, there are some blue bits and the sun is coming out every now and then and actually feeling warm. Still rather windy though. Locals are telling me we should have some summer from tomorrow. The creature is some kind of freshwater crayfish. Supposed to be nocturnal, this one obviously had other ideas.

Yes. I saw the news. Our friends from Larne would say it's a fairly normal summer day! Looks like Albufeira is going to be very hot over the next few days. It did turn out nice and sunny here, although it turned windy an hour or so ago and dark clouds are welling up on the horizon. Looks like they will miss though.

Getting better here, just in time for my last few days! Yesterday had a day out to the very posh area of Margaux, north of Bordeaux. Too many chateaux de very expensive to count. Temperature hit 31º apparently. Cloudy though this morning. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Turned out very hot (33º) and sweaty yesterday. I think I overdid it a bit. Very cloudy this morning and even more humid but not expected to be so hot. If you want to see some of what I done on my holidays, go to http://cubsur51.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - https://cubsur51.wordpress.com/ I will be adding some pictures from Bordeaux tonight. Heading back tomorrow. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |
