Same in Lectoure (Le Puy Way). With 39 on the way for Wednesday and Thursday37 today in Lisbon!
Because it's the Spanish weather service. Same thing applies, in reverse, for the Portuguese. As noted elsewhere, the two countries do not always cooperate that intensely. For a Canadian living near the US border, this is reminiscent of home weather services!Wow - that map shows there will be no respite anywhere in spain on Wednesday.
(Just a joke now / but looks cool in Portugal).
I wonder why they leave temps off in the Portugal area ?
WOW!!!! I assume that that 37C is San Sebastian and the 44C is Bilbao? Is that correct, Ivar? I can't believe those temperatures on the coast.
Hopefully it will have cooled off in a couple of weeks when I start my walk along the Camino Ingles.
I would assume it is because it is a different country. In the United States we don't show weather readings in Mexico or Canada. I now live in Mexico and the same is true here. No readings from United States or Guatemala.Wow - that map shows there will be no respite anywhere in spain on Wednesday.

It was particularly evident on Sunday, when Hurricane Hilary was romping north from Baja California (part of Mexico) into southern California.I would assume it is because it is a different country.

Relief next Saturday on the Francis, 78 F, Pamploma. The kind Guardia were greeting pilgrims between Zubiri and next town today, handing out cards to call if need assistance. I had downloaded the app per the forum. A kind sister gave me a lift at second Fuentes at noon to the donativo. We started at 7 but I’m a slow walker. Wish I had more euros than I do on me, must send more via post from Pamploma tomorrow.It was particularly evident on Sunday, when Hurricane Hilary was romping north from Baja California (part of Mexico) into southern California.
Relatives in San Diego, so I was keeping an eye on this. The US weather forecasts almost unanimously showed the flood watches, etc. as stopping sharp at the Mexican border to the south, even though that was the direction of approach of the hurricane.
Yeah, I can personally confirm that you're a lot better off hiking on the Coastal mid-summer than in Eastern or Interior Central Portugal.Because it's the Spanish weather service.

I've never had wine with octupus and pig's ear...is this a northern Spanish specialty--kind of a carnivore's sangria?It's a lovely 38 degrees in Melide this afternoon, just right for a glass of wine with pulpo, pimientos and pig's ear.
It was a random pick from the menu in Ezequiel. The pig's ear there is very good indeed and even better than it was in the 2 cocido lunches I had had in Leon and Astorga.I've never had wine with octupus and pig's ear...is this a northern Spanish specialty--kind of a carnivore's sangria?
This is so true. I was soaked in sweat and the sun cream I had applied was turning to a froth when walking today. It was like walking around Panama City, only a bit warmer towards the stage end.The worst part is the humidity... about 85-90%. For Santiago it is only for the next 2 days though... we should be back in the high 20s by the end of the week.
It’s currently 42 here in Portugal.Wow - that map shows there will be no respite anywhere in spain on Wednesday.

Hi Keiko.37C in Lisbon! How is the humidity? I'm so exhausted and dizzy in 35C and 70% humidity in Tokyo. Keeping to the AC rooms at home, can't even think of taking a walk for the fear of heat stroke. AND I'm flying into Lisbon in 5 days to start my Nazare->Fatima->Port->Santiago via Costa walk. I'm terrified! If the humidity is lower, I can manage it somehow. Otherwise ...........? Reading may posts about the difficulty to get a bed in Portugal, specially an inexpensive one, compared to Spain, I'm feeling backing out. Anyone, any good news to cheer me up a little?

Sure. It's the IPMA website (the Portuguese Weather/Atmosphere office, and you can customize it by specifying the district of Portugal you're in, and the nearest large town to where you are.Can you tell me where you access this map please.
