On Thursday 8th October 2026, Carl Munson’s Good Morning Portugal! news reports that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Lisbon on a European tour that has already taken in Reykjavík and Athens, with around 300 demonstrators gathered to protest his arrival.
The Nobel Prize in Literature is due to be announced today, with Portuguese author Gonçalo M. Tavares a betting favourite to follow José Saramago, who won in 1998 and is the Eat, Drink and Speak Portuguese icon of the day.
Other headlines include September being the hottest month in Portugal since records began, a Portuguese city installing video surveillance in priority locations, workplace stress and psychological illness costing companies €13 billion, and a €120 million Algarve project to cut water losses.
Weather turns clearer and warmer, with Lisbon forecast at 28°C.
