Waspman:
It appears there's more rain in Ag Stef than the UK at the moment, not very usual for September, last year in Ag Stef was great.
I think they should postpone the Arillas Wine Festival until next weekend, much more convenient.

hippopots:
Yes, afew disappointed people regarding the wine festival....hopefully it will take place tomorrow.

Whoever made the decision to postpone definately got it right, as there was a torrential downpour this evening!
As Waspman says, so very unusual for this time of the year!!

Met Winkie and Mrs Winkie yesterday, which was nice, and I must send apologies to cabmufc, who arrived last night, and has twice been in to say Hi, and both times I've been unavailable....once due to dog walking duties this morning, and then again this evening, when I was talking to my parents on skype!
Hopefully we'll get chance to say Hi properly soon!!

So, fingers crossed for sun tomorrow  ::)

Rain in Corfu in September is not unusual!

Indeed, more rain falls on Corfu Town in September than Manchester, OK its usually during heavy thunderstorms with many days of dry, hot weather in between but this weather is typical for September.

The total average rainfall for Corfu Airport in September is 72mm for Manchester its 65mm!

I have been to San Steph many times in September and have seen many thunderstorms but I have also known a fortnight of totally dry, sunny, hot weather, its pure luck. This year the high pressure over the UK has brought dry weather here but pushed low pressure systems into the Eastern Med. hence the storms.

Next week these systems move away so the weather will be hot and sunny again for at least 10 days.

Good news....not a single drop of rain today, hoorray  :)

So today was a pool day for many, etting the chance to soak up the sunshine.

And the postponed Arillas wine festival took place tonight, hopefully a good time was had by all who attended.

Finally said  proper hello to cabmufc today, and also Gavlah and family returned today for another week.

This evening sees people in some of the bars watching the football, and quite a lot in Thomas Bay watching tonights entertainment.
The older part of the village was quite quiet tonight, although there were a few in Nafsika and Kamini.
