Heat returned with force to Portugal and authorities placed 14 districts of the country on yellow alert due to fire danger. The meteorological conditions that favor the spread of fires are back, with high temperatures, low humidity and wind marking their presence in various regions of Portuguese territory.
André Morais, a Civil Protection specialist, was called upon to analyze the situation and warn about the dangers lurking with the temperature rise. The specialist assesses the risk factors that contribute to worsening fire danger conditions in the country.
This return of intense heat occurs in a context where Portugal has already faced several large-scale forest fires during the summer. Authorities are now warning of the need for heightened vigilance given the meteorological conditions conducive to fire occurrence and spread.
