....and I am he !! Living half way between Barcelona and Valencia, 15 km inland, 90 m asl, in an area known for its northerly gales (tramontanas locally, similar to mistral in that they drive you mad and go on for days). Currently using a wobbly OS WMR 100 although the temp sensor is u/s and the anemometer gives low reading (I'm sure that last gust was stronger than that !!).
With a career path in aviation and at one time a met observer at Southend Airport and currently retired with an interest in sailing, I shall extend my knowledge and interest in all things met with the help of this forum no doubt. Greetings to all.

Welcome from halfway between Barcelona and the French border. http://www.wheelocknet.net/cumulus/gauges.html?gb

Since you are looking forward to the Tramuntana and Mistral you might be interested in http://www.wheelocknet.net/cumulus/gauges.html?gb which details all the rest of the Catalan winds.

You might want to check out http://www.meteotortosa.cat/web3/ down your way.

Looks as if the northeaster Spanish coast is now covered by Cumulus.
