Rain in Gran Canaria!

So much for the recent heatwave. This week we’ve had RAIN!! Now whereas that might be exciting for ex pats like me who only see rain a couple of times a year, it might not be all that amusing for sun-seeking tourists! Typical Gran Canaria weather usually keeps them happy.

Today seems to be bright and clear though and the rain has definitely stopped. When I say “rain” I mean light drizzle. I was only person in Puerto Rico carrying an umbrella! Rain is unusual at the end of August and more common in January or February. When I say common I mean a slim chance, but it made a nice change anyway (and I didn’t have to water the banana plants that day!)
