Expecting 30 - 32º here today along the coast, but inland it's likely to be even up to 40º. Dire warnings in the news about the effects of heat, also saying that the first six months of this year in France were the hottest since dinosaurs walked the earth.

Risk of thunderstorms tonight.

It was quite misty at times yesterday here as well and not too hot. Inland, not 50 miles from where I am, one place clocked up 41.6º and there were temperatures of 40º+ in many regional locations away from the coast. There is a red alert for vulnerable people to stay indoors issued for the weekend. And that's on top of the ever growing list of things one should not do because of the virus. Many individual towns are making mask wearing compulsory at all times outside the home.

Just coming up to 9am and it is raining! Not hard, but it is wet stuff for sure. Looks set for an hour or so.

Very stormy night. Rain came bucketing down just as the bar was empyting after the PSG v Atalanta game. Some would have got very wet. Much thunder and lightning later in the night. These storms are not unusual here at this time of year. Even as I write dark clouds are gathering.

Nasty day yesterday here. It rained fairly hard almost all day until early evening. Better this morning, so far.

Yesterday was a better day than expected, but it brought out swarms of biting insects. Scratch, scratch.

Grey and cloudy this morning, rain on the way. Should be sunny and 28º this afternoon.

Turned out cloudy almost all day yesterday with a few spots of rain. Today will be my last full day at the seaside, where once again it is cloudy and grey, 23º forecast with showers later. Looks a lot better in Albufeira if rather windy at times. Very humid as well, according to the IPMA website.

(The wettest place in Portugal yesterday was the rather inappropriately named Vilar Seco up north, which had 29mm or 1.14" during the day. That's a lot.)

Last day begins with bright blue skies and expecting 30º later. Downside is that it is already very humid. Lots of mosquitoes last night.
