Temperatures in Portugal will rise sharply from Wednesday, with increases that could reach 10 to 12 degrees Celsius in some locations on the mainland. The rise will be gradual during Wednesday and Thursday, but will be particularly significant during this period.

According to the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA), maximum temperatures can reach 42 degrees Celsius in the hottest regions of the country. This significant temperature increase represents a sudden change in the usual weather conditions.

IPMA is the official source providing these weather forecasts, alerting the population to the need for precautions against the extreme heat expected. The hottest regions of the mainland territory will be the most affected by this heat wave.

After Dolly, next storm of the 2026 season could be called Edouard

The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, which lost strength but could reorganize upon entering the Gulf of Mexico, putting Florida on alert. A second system, located south of Louisiana, is also being watched with a 30% chance of development. Although neither system represents an immediate threat, meteorologists recommend heightened vigilance during mid-September, the historically most active period of the season. If Dolly reorganizes, it would be named Edouard. The 2026 hurricane season continues to be below average, with a forecast of 7 to 13 named storms, influenced by the El Niño phenomenon.
