  • TONY and JILL‛S PALM GARDENS‛ ISLAND NOTES February 2014
    TONY AND JILL‛s PALM GARDENS‛ ISLAND NOTES February 2014 CLIMATE CHANGE – Since moving here in January 2011 it seemed only the British visitors that commented daily on every aspect of the weather, something for which we are renowned! That is until the Canaries were hit by fearsome storms back in December with mountainous waves rolling in from mid-Atlantic, extensive flooding from the rain pouring down the mountain and incredible thunder and lightning. [10,000 lightning bolts recorded over a 40 hour period]. It was certainly not something that we, or apparently most Canarians, had experienced before and this winter continues to be the subject of discussion in bars and restaurants. In fact, it has continued to be at variance with the norm giving us lower temperatures, more rain, strong winds and some wonderfully dramatic skylines. At the first sign of rain clouds or a slight reduction from the average 24o - 26oC in November, most Canarians rush to put on full-length trousers, boots and coats to make them feel that ‘winter’ has arrived! To most holidaymakers it’s still as warm as a British summer’s day, but having now become acclimatised to the heat, we also found ourselves changing from shorts and wearing a fleece! It has become easier to identify residents versus tourists as the men will be stripped to the waist and the women dressed in swimwear [neither a pretty sight off the beaches] but all seeking the tan to take home! The upside of all the rain is that our landscape, which is normally quite arid, has now rejuvenated itself with half- forgotten wild plants and even grass growing between them which we’ve never seen before.
