Heat. Yellow warning in eleven districts on Thursday and Friday

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 07:21

The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) issued a yellow warning for heat in eleven districts of mainland Portugal, which will be in effect on Thursday and Friday. This warning is due to the forecast of hot weather that will be felt in these regions over the coming days.

Due to this meteorological situation, IPMA also raised the rural fire danger level to very high in 30 municipalities across the country, all of them placed in this danger category during this Wednesday.

For the southern region of Portuguese territory, the weather forecast also indicates the possibility of dust occurrence in the atmosphere during Thursday, which could contribute to a greater sensation of heat and thermal discomfort.

Authorities recommend prudence to the population, especially in rural and forest areas covered by the very high fire danger, asking for special attention to the use of fire and prevention behaviors during this period of intense heat.

Atafona: see how the advance of the sea swallowed houses and transformed the landscape of a district in Norte Fluminense over the years

The advance of the sea completely transformed the landscape of Atafona, a district in São João da Barra, in Norte Fluminense, since the 1960s, destroying houses, streets, sewer networks, and electricity structures. Coastal erosion advanced at a rate of up to 6 meters per year, submerging more than 500 houses in a stretch of approximately 2 kilometers. Residents report the drastic landscape change over the decades, with accounts of people who built their homes two blocks from the sea and now live in imminent risk areas.

On a beautiful day, the Atacama Desert woke up covered in snow

The Atacama Desert, in Chile, was hit by two consecutive storms that dumped ten times the amount of rain normally expected for an entire year, causing a rare snowfall that covered the driest desert on the planet outside of polar regions. The snow stretched from the Andes mountain range to the Pacific coast, forcing even one of the world's largest radio telescopes to shut down operations. NASA satellite images, captured by the Landsat 8, Landsat 9, and Terra satellites, documented the unusual extent of snow cover in that region.
