      Currently 23c going ti 30+c and quite still. Went to 32c yesterday.

      The sky was a strange yellow this morning now bluish. This is due to a massive fire 20kms north of us in Sao Marcus da Serra in Algarve near the border of Alentejo. It started yesterday afternoon with two fronts occupying 225 firefighters, 57 vehicles and 11 aircraft but they seem to be getting it under control.
      :fingers crossed::fingers crossed::fingers crossed:

      Edit Just got a picture through on the on-line news of yesterday and saying they now have it under control.

                Don't think so Upsy as it was not too near homes but I imagine there was wildlife loss. :frown:

                We are 30c now so staying in with the a/c on. I have got less tolerant of the heat these past few years. :phew:

                      It rained all day as I looked out of the window at work and getting back home I met up with the Gutter cleaning guy who managed to unblock my North facing front roof guttering and downpipe in the pouring rain after it had become blocked with Moss being washed off the roof.
                      Right now the Garden Weather Station is saying we've had 5.1mm of rain, the temperature is 54f, the skies are totally cloud covered, there's no real breeze, and the pressure reading is 1006.1hpa.:cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:

                        Same as every day for the last week, partly sunny with blustery winds. Still cool for July at 18c.

                              It only got to 96.7f so a little cooler than yesterday. I'm hoping the heat will cause weather disturbances including thunderstorms :fingers crossed:
