I've seen lots of videos on Facebook of flooding up and down the Costa today, how's GA faired?

Windy and wild all day loads of rain, unable to go on bikes, but been warm, don't know  of any flooding yet (ours under build has had water three time previously but now solved) but think that wind will have caused problems, wind still whistling through house doors all closed but still happy
Seasons greetings

Ravine rocks washed onto the road, particularly on the road leading down to the beach, the local council guys removing them yesterday. Lots of localised flooding around road speed bumps.

Also as quick as the dog dirt is washed away it is replaced with fresh dirt!!!

Sounds like GA has got off quite lightly compared to other areas
Love the last comment Maricia, shame it's so true.
Hopefully all the rain will have gone for the last three weeks in January, the nights will just be cold, not cold and wet

Terrible that. Mind the weather was awful when was there 3 weeks ago but nothing like this. Had a coffee in nice little bar just on the corner there. This weather is very unusual for Costa Blanca isn't it?

We are going for three weeks in January Chris, Lord knows why........it can be OK in the day, clear blue skies and lovely to sit out in the sun.........but come night time, we will have an electric bill of €120 for the month and the house still wont be warm.......the restaurants and bars are also cold!!

The main reason we go is to check that the house is OK.........in hindsight I wish we'd booked flight to Tenerife and Madeira as we did last year...........

They tend to have rain like this at least once every couple of years.

John

PS A friends just posted on Facebook.........she decided to light her fire for the first time in her new home yesterday.........came down this morning to find the wooden mantle shelf had caught fire and fallen down.......quality buiding work there!!

Were still risking tenerife for january.sat in a cold house with your jumper on trying to get warm is not my idea of fun. And yes before someone says it GA does have some nice weather, but trying to find open bars and restaurants that had customers was a rare thing unless things have improved.
