Its too hot! https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-65403381

This years veg patch is already a disaster….. 🙁

Spain recorded its hottest ever temperature for April on Thursday, hitting 38.8C according to the country’s meteorological service.
The record figure was reached in Cordoba airport in southern Spain just after 15:00 local time (14:00 BST).
For days a blistering heatwave has hit the country with temperatures 10-15C warmer than expected for April.
It’s been driven by a mass of very hot air from Africa, coupled with a slow moving weather system.

I like that AEMET have had to myth bust the Ants foretelling the end of the drought! https://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/ciencia/no-hormigas-no-pueden-predecir-lluvia_19836

No, las hormigas no pueden predecir la lluvia. Entonces, ¿cuándo lloverá?
Ante la desinformación que circula en redes sociales, la Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET) advierte sobre mensajes que afirman que se puede predecir el fin de la sequía en España en las próximas semanas observando el comportamiento de las hormigas.

Although!!!!! https://www.elperiodicoextremadura.com/sociedad/2023/05/06/jorge-rey-confirma-sequia-prediccion-hormigas-dv-86153747.html

Los animales son sensibles a los cambios climáticos, especialmente las hormigas, que pueden detectar incluso los cambios atmosféricos más sutiles con sus antenas. La predicción de las hormigas es un método tradicional sin fundamento científico basado en la observación. Resulta que cuando las hormigas trasladan sus hormigueros a una mayor altura o con distintos materiales, es una señal de que lloverá.

It is finally raining in Grazalema! (The wettest place in Spain?) Started at 5am and at 10:30 still going strong! Just need a full month of gentle drizzle to wet eveything down properly!

This is a video from the last time it rained properly in 2018…
