Strong winds and rain in Santiago right now

[ivar]

(Tuesday Feb. 4th 2014)
150 km/h winds on the coast, a bit less in Santiago but still strong wind. Heavy rain.

See this webcam live here.

Yes - it is very wet. Just arrived in Meson de Vento after walking from Coruna. Epic day but all well

I remember Santiago in the rain when the cascades from the waterspouts on the cathedral were meeting the pavement 2-3 metres from the walls.

Wish I was there again tonight.

Same thing here in Lisbon.

Hope not to get such bad weather in late March/early April for my Caminho Português.

But, in the end, "A wet Caminho, it's a blessed Caminho"

Best Regards
Diogo

What is happening to the Forum?

The layout and timing has changed inexplicably.

It is full of repeats.

Would like some enlightenment?

Why fix something that wasn't broken?

Not sure what you mean with "timing has changed" and "repeats". If you let me know I will try to explain.

We have had severe storms too. Hopefully NW Spain is not as bad as this
Dawlish railway washed out and other storm damage along the coast
How is Santiago today Ivar?

Much better today, but new storm on its way... they are lining up in the atlantic just waiting to get to Santiago.

Pilgrims of a different kind, coming from the west instead of the east.

I feel so sorry for the folk walking in the wind and rain.
Your webcam clip above is interesting Ivar because although it is 'still' it changes at each page view - day to night etc.

I depart tomorrow and knowing the potential weather ahead have added an extra layer of clothing, to help ensure I am warm and dry while walking. The additional clothing increases my pack (carry) weight from 16 pounds/7.25 kg to 17.6 pounds/7.98 kg., which is about 9% of my body weight. Do you agree the additional weight is probably an acceptable trade-off for the certainty of being able to stay warm and dry?

 

[Tia Valeria]

IMO yes and yes again
Stay warm and safe and Buen Camino

Just because it is wet and windy today, doesn't mean it will be so in a week or two weeks. You might be lucky leaningforward. Enjoy whatever comes, Buen Camino Janet.
