To celebrate the Day of the Wetlands the Natural park of Torrevieja-La Mata organized a photgraphic exhibition which showed the surprise snowfall of January 2017 in Torrevieja area, which made history after many years of nothing at all.
There followed a talk by Rubén Torregrossa Soler, one of the people who produce information for the MASTRAL group which monitors the weather in Torre. By means of graphs he exploded the myths that we have all indulged in, that "it is hotter/colder/wetter/drier, that it has ever been". The graphs show that both rainfall and temperature remain fairly level over many years with occasional spikes in both rainfall and temperature. This pattern will continue but we can expect a slight general rise due to climate change, with more intense heat and rainfall. It was a most interesting talk, which made our unique weather pattern much clearer. Post by Jenny Dodd
