Hi
we are closer to Africa than to UK, so the weather is different ! Today is 39C, and forecast to get hotter. Barely a sprinkle of rain since March with little chance of more until the autumn. A hot June day from 2003 :
Xmas day :
Same year, but very rare (and shortlived) snow :
Relaxation :
We actually have higher annual rainfall than London, but the bulk of it falls overnight in 3 or 4 serious downpours rather than constant drizzle. We are said to have 300+ sunny days per year. It can freeze occasionally in winter, but the sun brings the temperature back up to 15C by 10.00. We have had 1 January breakfasts outdoors with 20C some years.
In the garden, we have potatos, strawberries, tomatos, green peppers, aubergines, oranges, figs, apricots, peaches, apples, cherries, nefflier, plums, almonds, olives, vine, arbousier, onions, coriander, verveine, mint, melons, lavender, etc.
We also have various palm trees that give strange fruit. Some taste like pineapple ! |
