Get ready for the return of the heat: thermometers could reach 38º this week in some regions

SAPO Notícias31 August 2026 at 06:15

After a final stretch of August marked by significantly lower temperatures than usual for this time of year and periods of rain, Portugal is preparing for a clear change in the weather. Thermometers could reach 38 degrees this week in some regions of the country, signaling the return of the heat.

This forecast represents a reversal of the meteorological conditions seen in the last days of August, which deviated from the typical pattern for the period. Portuguese people should thus prepare to face a significantly hotter week, with temperatures rising sharply across the entire national territory.
