The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) snowfall in the highest points of Serra da Estrela early in the morning. "As predicted, a sample of snow fell. The current temperature of -1°C", reads the share on the Meteoestar - Serra da Estrela page, on Facebook.
Accompanying the text, the page published images from video surveillance cameras at the Serra da Estrela Ski Resort, where snow can be seen all around it.
The weather forecast for Portugal today is for "periods of rain or showers expected, generally light, especially in the North and Center regions, which may include snow in the highest points of Serra da Estrela until early in the morning".
So much for global warming - more like 'here comes the Ice Age'.
