Last Thursday, September 3, temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius were recorded at two meteorological stations of the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) located in the Algarve. This phenomenon represents a case of extreme heat in the southern region of Portugal.
The IPMA, responsible for meteorological monitoring in Portugal, confirmed these elevated measurements through its stations spread across the Algarve territory. The recorded values significantly exceeded the usual average for this time of year.
The article does not provide additional details about which specific IPMA stations in the Algarve made these measurements, nor does it indicate more precise temperatures beyond the information that they exceeded 40 degrees. This heat wave affected the Algarve region during a period when temperatures are normally still high, but not necessarily extreme of this magnitude.
