Braga TV4 September 2026 at 10:59

The dust from North Africa is already visible this Friday in Braga. This situation is part of an air mass that crosses mainland Portugal and is causing an increase in the concentration of inhalable particles in the atmosphere.

The Directorate-General for Health (DGS) issued an alert regarding this situation, classifying it as poor air quality. The entity recommends additional precautions to the population due to the risks associated with exposure to these particles.

The ECMWF model maps forecast an atmospheric blocking trend for the second half of September

The European ECMWF model maps predict an atmospheric blocking pattern in the North Atlantic for the second half of September, with a higher probability of the Atlantic Ridge regime occurring. This blocking could close the Atlantic to storms, allowing high pressures to dominate much of the ocean. In Portugal, this configuration should translate into more stable, dry weather and above-average temperatures for the season.
