Devastating news on a seemingly safe trip out
The mountains can be a dangerous place at all times of the year
Make sure you check the conditions for the day ahead, it may be fine at ground level, but can be very different higher up.
If you spend time on the beach at Argeles, you can see the ominous clouds hovering over the Alberes at times, but they rarely encroach further down.
Check you have a good map of your route & stay together, you could find yourself walking into mist/cloud & easily lose your way.
Water is vital & make sure you carry plenty of it
Very hot days will spark of storms
The mountains of the PO are a wondefull place to wander in
Stay safe & be aware

The temp is OK (though nothing much to write home about for the Med in late June) but the wind is WAY more than predicted. Certainly gusting to more than 30kph : not really possible to sit out in,without parasols etc being blown away.
Hi john :)

The forecast is only an indication of what may transpire & we are fortunate that Meteociel offers us the facility to get a localised look at the weather
You can estimate a rough wind speed, but gusts could be anything :roll:

Quote: Les prévisions à 3 jours météo présentées ici pour Céret ( Pyrénées-Orientales ) sont expérimentales et déterminées à partir des données brutes de GFS, un modèle numérique américain, ces prévisions doivent être prises à titre indicatif. Les estimations de températures et de vent des villes d'altitude peuvent être un peu erronées. Des ajustements sont en cours.

The only other real option is to use the main overview model

Plenty of summer months left :lol:

I've just come back from a meeting at Terrats to discuss the damage caused by the recent hailstorm.

Many of the vineyards between Terrats and Alenya have been hit. The hail in some places has completely stripped the vines of grapes and leaves while in others it has just smashed some of the berries, leaving them to rot on the vine.

What was looking like a very nice harvest turned into a a very poor one in just 30 minutes.

It's upsetting to not be able to have a barbecue or sit on the terrace but it's not quite so upsetting as seeing your whole year's work destroyed.
