        Yesterday morning was sunny and it started raining at lunchtime and continued on and off throughout the day. Beautiful sunshine this morning and the solar panels are just waking up. :SUNsmile:

          Hazy sun. 20c. calm, going to mid 30s. We are under a Yellow High Temp Warning today, turns to Orange tomorrow.

          Over 1,000 fire fighters at the big fire and smaller ones breaking out everywhere in the country. 1600 people evacuated. Santarem reached 46c,

            Was sunny to start with - after a rather chilly night . The sun has gone now and left a damp garden in the shade at 13C .
            Tomorrow promises to be spectacular although it's hard to imagine that at the moment ,

                  We are surprisingly only 29c being under a Yellow morning.

                  The fire is under control ... sorry about translation ...


                  "In resolution, but still in need of care to be fully resolved. This is the state of play of the fire that broke out on Saturday in São Teotónio and affected a total of 8400 hectares not only in the municipality of Odemira, but also in Aljezur and Monchique, where the flames ended up spreading. At this moment, and already after the fire enters the resolution phase, around 10:30 am, «there is not much active flame» and «the little that exists is inside the burned perimeter», revealed moments ago Vítor Vaz Pinto, regional commander of Emergency and Algarve Civil Protection. However, all care remains, as «we are going to have many reactivations throughout the day, not least because the wind turned to the North and Northwest», he said.
                  "In this way, the «1050 operators, 320 vehicles, 11 ground machines and 15 aerial means, of which 10 are planes and the remaining 5 are helicopters» that remain in the theater of operations «will remain on the ground» in the coming days and they will be demobilized gradually, whenever “the conditions for this are created”. This is because the situation remains worrying and little attention is paid: «at any moment we can have a variable that we did not calculate and the situation can change radically».
                  "Vítor Vaz Pinto also updated the affected area, which was «of 8400 hectares», in a perimeter of «50 kilometers»."

                        Well, what can I say, just a few white clouds and 24c, good enough, I dont ask for more than that, it's more like summer than we have had for about 5 weeks, must make the most of tomorrow, its downhill again after then.
