that's where i'm living and it's the coolest summer since i'm here over 10 years ago and way back remembering from visiting my parents and grand parants. right now temps are between 5-15C cooler than normal ( min to max, matter of factly below 30C which is totally exceptional, normal would be >30C from july till second week of december with close to no exceptions. further the air (ocean side) is way more humid right now with real clouds, another of those real exceptions. normal would be 22-45% rel. hum. and we're permanently between 45 and 65% with 3-4 days as exceptions with the related temps of 35-42C.
further there are not more than average wildfires here, they happen each year, just in different places while portugal is worse, not last because of less sophisticated infrastructure, visible upon crossing the boarder with naked eyes.
thought a first hand real life input will be welcome. hottest year as of my memory since i'm living here permanently (retired) was 2006 while i did not verify that from numbers. it's just what everyone remembers
here.
