Think it being deposited over the UK! Can't recall last time my back garden had flooded patches for so many days! Decking and slabs not been dry for weeks.

Now you know how hot and dry the summer was. We need a wet winter

It's easy to joke, but unless we do get a very wet winter, we probably face severe water shortages next summer.
I have never seen the barragem anything like that low in the last 12 years

Only 220 mm since March...
Not really much water. (110 fall in one day!)
I think about 600 mm average is expected to fall each year.
Monchique is quite different, 2000+ mm may fall yearly.

You might have a point there Geoff. Found this november 13 post on facebook (cached) that says its empty for maintenance and should be cleaned up.

Hi Rui
Long time no see.....given up the e-cigs yet?
Anyway, my Portuguese is very limited, but :

does sound as if there was a lot of plastic rubbish in there...and a 4X4 ??BARRAGEM DO ARADE - Neste momento a barragem encontra-se vazia para trabalhos de manutenção. É visível imenso lixo na sua bacia e ao redor, nomeadamente garrafas de vidro, plásticos, latas, paus, tubos, restos de electrodomésticos, embarcações abandonadas e degradadas, etc. Penso que seria oportuno, sem demora, o Município promover uma acção de limpeza com o apoio de voluntários enquanto permanece vazia. O município podia colaborar com o fornecimento de sacos de plástico, viatura 4x4 com guincho para remoção das embarcações, camião e eventualmente um vidrão para o periodo da limpeza. (Há uma parede em frente ao muro da época da sua construção que devia ser derrubada afim de evitar algum acidente grave. Vamos?
