Extreme weather

Edmund Slackbladder to the rescue. (It's "wander" btw. - And then you could rent yourself out to some of the other firespots, I reckon the Californians will at least pay for a business class ticket - really not sure the Greeks will though).

Mmmm.

Can see flames on the horizon now.

Pfarrrrrttttt.

Bloody weather. Now blowing a hooley, big black clouds of smoke overhead and the whole place is black with ash.

Not sure they have this fire thing under control, so planning to head to the bar later, have a load of pints then wonder up to it and relieve myself, that should put it out.

Raining ash now. I now know what it feels to be in Pompei. I hope I don’t get frozen in time

We've all had a BBQ go wrong, don't take it too hard...

PS - if you do get frozen in time, time will have far greater issues to deal with than you...

Raining ash now. I now know what it feels to be in Pompei. I hope I don’t get frozen across two time zones

FTFY

Don't drink the black rain.

It never ends well.

Ah well, terminal sunstroke should cure all that.

WTF did you go to Portugal for?

It's been hot enough here over the last month.

Without having skies looking as if the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse were riding by.

I think the kids would have thrown a major paddy if he'd said "let's all go to Clacton for 2 weeks." And he'd have had to hide the sharp knives when he told the missus...

Stop being sensible!

Portugal’s skies turn orange as desert air sends temperature soaring

For once, it looks like the five-day forecast may be correct....

[MarillionFan]

Well there I was in between courses, having cooked the kids dinner and then about to do ice cream when all of the sudden the temperature seemed to increase quite drastically from what had been around 26/27 degrees to 42 according to the temperature gauge

This had been preceded by a very strange set of dark clouds with an orange haze, almost flame like with smoke mixed in.

As the temperature increased to a desert like heat, there was a sound of distant thunder and then the wind picked up and then again and then again. It was like being in a desert windstorm as things went flying all around with the sound of continuos crashing. As I was able to get onto the roof I was budgeted by the hotest wind I’ve ever felt. It felt and looked like hell had opened.

I should point out Im near the Algarve and the temp has been in the 30s all day and no wind. There appears to be a raging fire not far away and this must have been the heat wave they’ve all talked about which has now arrived.

It’s now dead dead calm but ridiculously hot at 8.45pm.

I think I’m
In the eye of a hurricane!
