Here comes an intense heat wave for Coimbra and for much of mainland Portugal. The month of September will bring days of very hot weather, contradicting the usual expectation of milder temperatures at the beginning of autumn.
Eleven districts of the mainland will be under yellow warning on Thursday and Friday due to the forecast of hot weather. This meteorological warning indicates moderate risk situations that require attention.
Temperatures are expected to reach values significantly above the average for this time of year, affecting not only Coimbra but also other regions of the country.
This episode of intense heat in September demonstrates that the Portuguese summer can extend beyond the usual, requiring special care from the population, especially the most vulnerable groups to heat.
