Haze fading quickly, giving way to another properly relentless pitiless HOT sunshine. No wind no cloud, actually saw two clouds yesterday, one of which was a horrible factory emissions. 34° yesterday dropping to w9° in the evening. Forecast has it for a 12° increase above seasonal average...
Yes, that's Alentejo, where I am taking a well deserved break though not a vacation, given the company. Ah well, can't have it all.
35° and rising. Very little tad of breeze not enough to cool anything. Shimmer of heat rises from roofs.
Local forecast has it for 38°+ this weekend. Mid September. Swallows and Martins still around. Scores of stork nests of which 2 occupied, one each, the rest empty.
Nearest city is 20 miles away and it has the major oil/facility and port. Pipes, tubes, transporting some sort gas which must be kept at -150° or else the gas will ignite, running above the ground mostly. Just imagine... a tsunami...
