Heat in the south, rain and thunder in the north. "It is often said that with great calm comes great storm"

CNN Portugal6 September 2026 at 08:59

Portugal has been facing divided weather conditions, with intense heat affecting the south of the country while the north was marked by rain and thunder during the night. These variations were accompanied by wind, hail and rain in some regions.

Climate specialist Mário Marques was quoted to explain the high temperatures that have been felt in Portugal, as well as the meteorological phenomena that accompanied the last night.

The phrase "it is often said that with great calm comes great storm" serves as title and context for the news story, suggesting that the combination of intense heat with storms can be interpreted through this popular saying.

The adverse weather conditions included wind, hail, rain and thunder in various parts of the country during the night.
