Fairly new to this forum without much input but read alot. Anyway out of interest and living in the South of Spain now for 5 years, temperatures are still holding up on August highs apart from the welcome cooler nights. At 1.0 pm yesterday the temperature in Torrevieja ( Costa Blanca ) was 36c with any breeze coming directly from Africa, we are centred at present in a large low pressure system. I look forward to your comments.
