Talita: “I had to buy a sun umbrella, even if I’m used to it, it is too much sometimes. We were just talking about it actually, we take cold showers to endure (the heat) and our plan was to come very early to the beach, we didn’t manage to but we came and had to stay under the shade. We couldn’t stand being in the sand. It’s the way it is. To enjoy what we can but mostly in the shade and drinking cold water.”
Keila: “And sunscreen”
Talita: “Yes lots of sunscreen”

“To hydrate of course, it is very important, shade, sun hat for me is very important and sunscreen. Also to be away during peak heat, I know I’m here now but I would advise people not to come in this time, to try to come earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon and this way people can be more careful regarding the heat.”

STORYLINE:
Portugal is facing the second heatwave of the summer, with some regions expected to reach up to 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) on Tuesday.
In Lisbon, temperatures on Tuesday were expected to reach 39 degrees Celsius (102 Fahrenheit) leading many people to escape to the closest beaches.
In Carcavelos, several beachgoers enjoyed the warm weather. People sunbathed, swam and surfed.
But some beachgoers also expressed concern at the increasingly common high temperatures.
On Tuesday several wildfires in Portugal were deemed of concern with over 3,000 firefighters on the ground, 900 fire engines and 26 aerial resources.
In the northern part of the country, close to the border with Spain, a fire that started on Saturday night continued to burn, threatening villages and the natural protected area of Geres.
The EU monitoring agency has found that, in Europe and globally, 2024 was the hottest year on record and the continent experienced its second-highest number of ‘heat stress’ days.
Scientists warn that climate change is exacerbating the frequency and intensity of heat and dryness across the region, especially in southeastern Europe, making it more vulnerable to health impacts and wildfires.
