from the Portugal news website at 5pm.
1 Hour(s) ago: Sahara crosses into Portugal
Rivers run low, crops wither, livestock starve to death and wildfires rage on the Iberian peninsula in the grip of the peninsulas fiercest droughts in 60 years causing desertification in a region where global warming is aggravating the effects of soil erosion. Flames have devoured more than 160 000ha of forest and bush in Spain and Portugal this year. The summers wildfires have killed 20 people and injured dozens, destroyed homes and forced the evacuation of entire villages

Not an ideal situation once again especially when it appears that like in previous years a majority of the fires raging are purposely started by mindless euro grabbing locals hoping for a change in use of their land. In the absence of water to extinguish the fires I suggest that all the remaining Tagus beer in the country is taken to the area and used to put out the fires. It would have at least served one good purpose.
