Typical NYT - they can’t resist blaming warmer summers (always climate change). WRONG Portugal has been quite cool last 2 summers, I moved to Cascais 2 years ago from UK, my wife constantly complains how cold it is here especially because I promised her warm weather! eg today has been typical, only 21 degrees C in August. However has been sunny and incredibly windy, I suspect the wind contributes more to fire risk than high temperature.

Cascais is a coastal area. It enjoys some cooling and microclimate for the Atlantic Ocean influence. A lot of sea breeze is also expected
