News, September 2005News Theme, Late Summer in Spain and the WeatherDuring August, the main news concerning the weather was the extreme heat and forest fires, causing loss of life as well as much damage to property. In September the main topic is late summer storms. But the most widely feared phenomenon is known as the 'Gota Fría'. The Gota Fría is particularly of concern to people living close to the Mediterranean in Catalonia and Valencia and sometimes elsewhere. Flash floods cause turmoil and loss of property, occasionally also loss of life. Sadly also, they rarely put the water where it is needed and we have to await later Autumn rains to alleviate the drought conditions.
