Portugal is still under a ‘state of alert’ imposed last weekend to try and reduce the risk of fires breaking out during a period of intense heat.
That period, however, is showing little sign of abating. Forecasts for next weekend are every bit as high as they were last. Meteorologists admit there will be little let up in searing temperatures before August 13 – and all the while fires burn, break out and reignite.

Launched in 1989, the Algarve Resident soon became the newspaper of choice by expatriates in the Algarve. Its unchanging focus on the Algarve has allowed it to concentrate over the years on the community it serves while retaining elements of national and international news, that have relevance on life and living in the region. The Algarve Resident has grown from a black and white weekly A4 news journal into a respected weekly tabloid newspaper, and is acknowledged as being the ‘voice of the Algarve’s expatriate community’, while remaining impartial and reporting fact. It has been published uninterrupted each week since its launch.
