If nothing else the weather forecasts and maps are a good source of entertainment. Check the skies where we can see for miles down the coast to the west and as far as the mountains in Türkiye to the north on clear days. Look at the mountain flags and our neighbour’s flags - TRNC, Turkish and Swedish - for wind direction. Unable to understand why the two mountain flags, planted next to each other, aren’t in sync. One pointing bravely to the east and the other in need of Viagra. Then repair to the radar maps. First map shows us being chased by a pacman style cartoon monster just about big enough to swallow our island whole. However, doesn’t seem to be making much speed. Remains roughly half way between Crete and Cyprus for quite a long time.
Map from second source includes wind directions and suggests an answer. The winds are swirling in a circular pattern in the eastern end of the Med holding the coming - or not coming - precipitation practically stationary. No tornado but no real progress either. Meanwhile warm, breezy - and dry.
