Portugal breaks temperature records amid heat wave
Temperatures were being driven higher across the Iberian peninsula by a hot air mass moving northward from Africa, which is also bringing dust from the Sahara Desert, meteorologists said.
The dust gave the sky a dark yellow hue in some places.
Today in Lisbon the temperature peaked at 43°C and left the city empty. The heat it self was not the worst – it was the absence of the usual breeze from the Atlantic that made it unbearable.
In case of an emergency: Go To Th Beach 🙂
The weather will been the same – and maybe even warmer the – next days.
But don’t panic.
Lisbon is surrounded by fantastic beaches. And if you have a car we have paradise beaches 30 minutes from downtown that are much better to the over crowded beaches between Lisbon and Cascais…
