Andy7:
The problem is that the massive high pressure over Northern Europe that is giving the UK it's extended summer is forcing rain bearing weather systems in to the Med, this has occurred repeatedly this summer and has also resulted in a very poor grape harvest in the wine producing areas of Italy.

Until that high pressure moves expect more thunderstorms in Corfu.

Waspman:
Thanks Andy, look forward to further thunderstorms!

hippopots:
Well, there's really only one way to describe today, and thats WET!!

Poor Barbara G, don't envy you waiting for a bus in that rain!

The day started dry, but by 10am the first rumbles of thunder could be heard, and the dark clouds started to descend. By Midday it was pelting it down, with big cracks of thunder!
This lasted until late afternoon, so unfortunately the day was a bit of a washout, with many keeping to their hotels.
However, it has stayed dry this evening, so people have been able to venture out in the dry for dinner.

The weather really hasn't been on its best behavior so far this Sept, and whilst it has put a bit of a dampner on some holidays, plenty of people have just taken it their stride, and said it hasn't put them off coming again, which is good to hear, as next year, you never know, it will probably be glorious!!  ;)

Waspman:
Friday 12th September 9.30am. Pouring with rain, thunder and lightning now and all night long, don't think anybody could sleep. Forecast to last on and off until Monday.
Another day confined to the hotel me thinks.

Ioanna:
According to the forecast that I have just seen the weather should improve now but with overnight rain on Saturday - I arrive Sunday lunchtime so fingers crossed ! At least it will be SS weather !!!
