Mainland Portugal will face a sharp rise in temperature, with thermometers reaching 42°C. The intense heat does not come alone, being accompanied by a hot air mass from North Africa. This weather situation will affect the Portuguese mainland territory in the coming days, with temperatures significantly above normal values for this time of year.
Along with the heat, the entry of Saharan dust suspended in the atmosphere is forecast. This phenomenon will alter the usual appearance of the sky in various regions of the country, giving it a more brownish or orange tint. In addition to the visual change, dust particles can settle on exposed surfaces, including cars and other objects left outside.
The article indicates that some regions will be more affected by this combination of extreme heat and desert dust than others, although it does not specify which in detail. The concentration of suspended dust should be sufficiently high to cause visible impacts on the environment.
According to the weather forecast, conditions should improve in the coming days, with a gradual decrease in temperatures and a reduction in the concentration of suspended dust in the atmosphere.
