Wildfires in Portugal

Anyone traveling to Portugal (or, frankly, anyplace else where it's summer) should be aware of major wildfires currently hitting Portugal. It's still early in (what used to be) the traditional "fire season" in many places, odds are it's going to get worse as we get deeper into summer. Be aware of what's happening, stay updated with the latest news where you are going, be prepared to be flexible in your plans, stay safe.

From the Washington Post: Wildfires rage in Portugal as punishing heat wave sweeps Europe

Temperatures are forecast to hit up to 113°F (45°C) this week in parts of Portugal, a state of emergency has been declared.

A hot summer ahead for many places. Take it seriously, be careful.

I am supposed to go to Spain and Portugal on Sep 7. I wonder if they will be having fires then, too.
