Cloudy with low visibility at 8.15 in Caleta.
A cloudy morning is forecast with high cloud and sun this afternoon.
The shade temperature is forecast to be around 30 degrees today, as hot air comes in from the Sahara bringing with it a Calima (air laden with dust).

... Can't see Lobos today, are we headed
for a calima?

Good guess, Bertie. 👍

El Cotillo... 8.35am. A slight breeze, overcast, 19C.

                   

[Captain Sensible]

Clear and sunny all morning.  28 in the shade at midday.  

The wind forecast can't be right as there's only a light breeze and planes have been taking off/landing the 'wrong way'! ie. taking off to the south which usually only happens when there is a S wind irection.

Villaverde.
Another lovely clear day up in the hills.
Looks a bit brighter in the El Cotillo direction
today.  Wind has decreased here and would 
appear to be from a westerly direction according
to the Lajares junction turbines and the dust being
kicked up by the boy racers.  It's currently 25c in the shade.
