The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) extended the yellow warning for hot weather today until Saturday and expanded it from 11 to 14 districts. This decision was made due to the high temperatures forecast for the coming days.

The districts covered by the yellow warning are Bragança, Viseu, Évora, Guarda, Faro, Vila Real, Setúbal, Santarém, Lisbon, Leiria, Beja, Castelo Branco, Coimbra, and Portalegre. The warning is in effect between 10:00 today and 19:00 on Saturday.

The yellow warning is the least severe of a three-level alert scale, used to indicate meteorological conditions that represent some risk but are not yet considered serious.

UN forecasts a 'very strong' El Niño with possible duration until February 2027

The World Meteorological Organization warned that the El Niño phenomenon is "firmly established" and should intensify to reach a "very strong" intensity in the coming months, with a probability close to 100% of persisting until February 2027. The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, warned that the world is in a "high risk" situation with extreme weather events, noting that sea surface temperatures are already significantly above average. This phenomenon, which historically causes droughts, floods, and extreme heat in various regions of the world, adds to the climate change caused by human activities, leading many scientists to predict that 2027 could be the warmest year ever recorded.
