ALMERIA & MURCIA WEATHER UPDATE Sunday 30th March 2014: Reminder time folks!!!.......Did you remember that those clocks should have changed in the wee hours last night so dont forget to adjust all those clocks!!!.......Yes, its a forward 1 hour motion so you lost an hour in bed!!!........Just what you need on a Sunday morning, but as a form of compensation, today should be a beautiful sunny day for most but those winds could be blowing in places. There is an increased risk of showers up the North Eastern side of Murcia towards the Alicante Force Field and there may be a few of those darker clouds lurking but as a result of a sudden change in the way our weather moved over the last couple of days, tomorrow is looking reasonable as well!!!........Tuesday is looking to be on the cloudier side, slight chance of rain but nothing untoward!!!.......Wednesday we are expecting more clouds and more risk of rain and perhaps those winds as the day progresses and moves into Thursday........Now Thursday we could see sun in places particularly to the north of the Group but again those winds will be up in places and the general outlook is rain and eventually we expect that sun that showed itself to become covered as we proceed into darkness and onto Friday and what is likely to be a grey day with that risk of rain again........but the weekend should be a brightening experience with mainly sunshine and back to reasonable weather..........Now, how about a bit of weather edumacation???........Mackerel sky and mares tails make tall ships carry low sails!!!...........This weather proverb originates from a nautical background when differing cloud types were used to determine whether sails needed to be lowered. Also referred to as just a mackerel sky, it is associated with altocumulus clouds whilst mares tails refer to cirrus clouds. Both can develop before the onslaught of a storm and therefore would lead to the lowering of the ships sails. Altocumulus clouds appear when there is a certain level of moisture in the air suggesting rainfall is approaching. The term mackerel sky comes from the clouds resemblance to the the scales of the mackerel fish!!!......Now hows that for a Sunday morning read???........Have a good day peeps and bear one thing in mind when that inclement weather comes round again in the week........Never test the depth of a puddle with two feet!!!.........Jim Fraser reporting live for the Local Fire & Weather Watch Network :)
