They say that the English love to talk about the weather. Well, after 15 years as a resident of Spain Don Pablo can confirm that the Spanish are just as bad ... or good ... at it!

Drought
After three years of near drought in Andalucia, water is back on the agenda in a big way. The remains of Hurricane Leslie and Storm Berenice have brought much needed rain to Spain, causing flooding and damage but, more importantly, starting to fill the reservoirs again, especially in Andalucia and Murcia.
Here are several links in the Press which give an up-to-date overview of the current situation.
Three articles are in the original Spanish yet should be accessible to those readers who are learning or have learned some castellano. The other two are in English.
