I have just noticed that Jet2 flights to and from Almería are now available for summer 2019. You can see more details here.

The same link is also available in the Featured Tourism menu on the site.

Now that summer is just about over I am starting to look at weather websites more often. Here are 3 of my favourites:

Yr.no Almerimar - my go to site for a general weather forecast

AEMet weather alerts - to see whether there are any weather warnings for the area

The Weather Channel Almerimar rain radar - you have to click on what looks like a little pile of paper in the menu then select radar  (as it defaults to showing clouds).

The article here on the Ideal site has details of an upcoming gastronomy event in El Ejido this coming weekend.

The article here on the La Voz de Almería website has details of a good year for the production of wine in the province.

The summer programme of setting up the local beaches came to an end on 9 September 2018. The local council has published their view of how it has gone here on their website.

Just taken the image above from the Spanish National Weather (Aemet) website. As you can see it shows a rain/storms risk for tomorrow.

We are in the Poniente (west) region of the province of Almería.

For the last couple of days the majority of weather websites were predicting rain for Almerimar today. This was still the case at around 9am this morning. So we made the decision to cancel Friday golf today.

It looks like we may have got it wrong.

The rain radar for this morning ended up showing that the showers went slightly to the west of us. Towards Guardias Viejas and Adra. However the Accuweather site was predicting rain in 5 minutes for Almerimar not long after 9:30am. So there must have been a last minute change in direction.

Then the next band of rain scheduled for between 11 and 12 seems to have dissipated.

It is now sunny and breezy at the moment. However various sites are saying there is a chance of rain this afternoon. I guess we will have to wait and see.
