Weather

Sunday, May 20th, 2007
The last three days, you might've noticed a thick grey cloud layer above us. That what we have to deal with due to being a miniature continent. After a sunny hot week it's now all cloudy as if it was deep winter. The national institute of meteorology has predicted more clouds and possibly rain for tomorrow with temperatures between 17º and 24º degrees. Leave your speedos and bikinis at home, it's time not to sunbath ;)

Sunny weather, sad consecuences

Saturday, May 12th, 2007
This last few days, have been extremely hot and sunny. The 'Calima' striked us once again this week bringing, apart from the sticky hot air, its usual lack of any other weather phenomenon. Unfortunately this brings, not only beach mood, but also an inmense 'wave' of illegal immigrants who take advantage of this weather condition to make try their way to us. Yesterday, the astonishing number of 241 subsaharian immigrants arrived at Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife, intercepted by Sea Rescue and the 'Guardia Civil'. Today, a new 'cayuco', the type boat they travel in, was intercepted on its way to Tenerife with 101 immigrants on board, raising the whole number of subsaharian immigrants to 342 in less then 48 hours. Really sad :( . How bad has their life to be over there to risk their lifes and savings over and over again, knowing their possibility of getting caught is almost 95%.
