#SardineMaxxing, 11 municipalities on max, Douro grape dumping plus headlines, weather & currency

On Thursday 3rd September 2026, Carl Munson’s Good Morning Portugal! news reports that sardine prices are surging after Portugal’s 2026 EU quota was cut under a recovery plan, combining limited supply with booming global demand for artisanal tinned fish.

Douro wine growers dumped around 300 kg of grapes in the streets of Régua as a protest over the regional crisis.

Other headlines include parliamentary leaders setting a date for a no-confidence motion, the PSD criticising Chega’s move, and 11 municipalities under maximum wildfire risk during an intense heatwave, with temperatures forecast up to 38°C in Lisbon and 41°C in Évora.
