Snow in LanjaronOur weather records for 2008 here in Lanjaron have been completed. They show a remarkable consistency with the 2 prior years in most respects. However the total amount of annual rainfall is significantly higher than before with 415mm rain compared to 242mm in 2007 and 306mm in 2006. This is over a similar amount of days containing rain.

Snow on the OlivesGood news for all those of us who own some land here, as well as for mountaineers and skiers who have had the best start to a winter season for many years!
