Faro
Lisbon
Oporto
1 Hour(s) ago: Snow falls from north to south
Nothern Portugal was covered in a blanket of snow today, while Lisbon and Evora recorded falls throughout the day. The Monchique mountain range in the Algarve, recorded 4cm of snow, the first to fall on the range for 23 years. Sub-zero temperatures are predicted for most of the country tonight, with the Lisbon City Hall closing three underground stations to house homeless people.

well according to yahoo at moment its 39 degrees (but feels like 29) ..now it has been raining...just wonder if drops a few more degrees I wonder if it would snow .

It would interesting, if such things as betting shops existed here, what the odds would be on it happening.

Yes and just saw -4ºC (sorry can't do Farenheit for you oldies ) due for Portimão tonight...yikes, that means colder in the outback, Martin! Thermal vest out again.

And here in Ontario, Canada, in what normally is the dead of winter, we have been getting highs of 12 degrees, although today it's back down to 5!

Baffling!

I agree Showwie this has been an unusually warm winter in Ontario. I hope "they" turn the temp up in CVO as we are arriving in 3 weeks!

I have been in UK over the wekend but it was colder here this morning than in Naaaarfolk!!

Maybe this has already been posted but I hear there were massive traffic jams on Sunday to see the snow in Monchique and 30cms laying there today
