Rain, then more rain!

[Lamby]

What's happening? We arrive Saturday 29.3.14 and weather sites are all saying rain everyday!!! I just hope it changes by weekend, they have it wrong or CVO has it's micro climate. Come on sun, make an appearance - please!!

Hope this helps, Portuguese equivalent of Met Office, In my experience they always underestimate temperature.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Now our departure date is close I was hoping the forecast would change. But, as it is now days away I can only imagine the forecast is pretty precise, so, rain everyday while we are in CVO it is then. Still better than work but slightly disappointing

Im sure it will change! could be worse you could have tickets to watch man U at home

The funny thing is Jamie I HAVE watch all United's games, albeit on the TV. Either on Sky, BT Sport, ITV or one of those "dodgy" channels when they played at 3.00pm on a Saturday. So I have witnessed the demise of my team whilst suffering the rise of both City and Liverpool. With a deep loathing for Chelsea I am truly torn as to who I would want to see win the league. I guess it would have to be City No doubt I will find a bar in CVO next week to watch United v Bayern Munich to continue my punishment. I am hoping the weather WILL change.

Worry not Lamby. In my experience the forecast often exaggerates the extent of any rainfall & often it rains at night when you're tucked up in bed. Furthermore, it will be much warmer than UK & once you are there you'll enjoy yourselves whatever the weather throws at you. I arrive on Thursday 3rd so expect the worst of the weather to arrive after that !

[Lamby]

Thanks for the reassurance Widge. I agree, I am sure it will be better than some sites are forecasting. Plus, it's NOT work and I am in my favourite place. Have a safe trip next week and who knows, we may well pass each other in CVO.

Not so Widge, I arrive evening of the 5th and have arranged a week of glorious sunshine which I will be only too happy to share with you.

[Lamby]

[maccasa]

Sorry guys but it's been grotty today - dull and a huge 13C at lunch time - started raining at about 3 and hasnt stopped since! Ughh!

landed in lashing wind & rain last night, yuk

there was at least 2 stag parties and 1 hen party on the plane, don't think the passengers on the way back were left much to drink

but at least it looks relatively dry for today & tomorrow, grateful for small mercies

Well done SAM - the forecast for Sunday 6th is indeed glorious sunshine after a whole week of rain!
