is horrible

Serpa, which is about 45 minutes drive away, has thunderstorms and rain, although it's 30C there.

We have heavy cloud and it's so sticky, we're all leaking. Still 31C. it's actually cooler outside than in, even though I'm very good at keeping shutters, windows shut.

And being a dafty bint, I'm cooking chicken presunto tonight, so that's the oven on, as well as the steamer

Hi gosh man not nice hope it improves soon it's been lo let here 22with a very warm wind bliss washing dry jacket potatoes with tin tuna for me

We could certainly do with some rain down here; apart from some very fine drizzle, we've had nothing for around three weeks now …..

Same Ossie - most unusual!

We've had the odd tiny shower, but overall weather certainly far better than Portugal

We had a really heavy shower on Saturday evening but we walked Billy shortly afterwards and you wouldn't have known.

Just the Lower Alentejo and the north Di. The Algarve is basking in sunshine

It's all a bit mad everywhere really. My brother and SIL in SA are complaining how cold it already was for them back in April; their winter is only around now / August - September(ish). I was talking to someone at the allotment about how little rain we've had and the forecast for the next two weeks or so is for dry sunny weather. But not much longer - come August the schools break up and we'll be guaranteed rain, rain, rain and more rain

We have thunderstorms and showers forecast for Thursday

Really warm here not forecast rain due
