We got rain yesterday and boy, it poured down - all day!

It finally went and did it yesterday....

The heavens opened and we were deluged for most of the day or at least from around 11am in Limassol.

We had heavy rain, lightning and thunder with the roads being flooded and rivers of rain water pouring down the  street where I work to the roundabout at St Nicholas.

The bad weather continued through the night, knocking our satellite tv off from about 6.30pm for an hour and the thunder, lightning and strong winds were ongoing when we went to bed just before midnight. And, it tripped the power of course!

The weather forecast isn't much better for the weekend either. We got up to rain again this morning and although it did brighten for a spell, it's going a bit murky again as I type....

I've got some pictures I took with my phone from my office window looking towards the huge Santa Claus on St Nicholas roundabout:

This one below is of my office. I do work with other people but they abandoned me for a fag break! We're moving soon to a slightly different location but a bit closer to the Post Office.

To stay informed, weather wise - keep an eye on the Limassol Weather link in the right hand column. It's damn cold today and apparently will be cooler still tomorrow. Urgh!

And for those of you who may feel a trip up Troodos to Mount Olympus coming on, take a look at the Cyprus ski resort webcam before you travel. They reckon we may get snow up there this weekend!
