The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere placed the Algarve under yellow warning due to hot weather until 9pm on Monday. The warning also covers the districts of Beja, Castelo Branco, Évora, Lisbon, Setúbal and Portalegre. The yellow warning is the least severe of a three-level scale, issued when there is a risk situation for activities dependent on meteorological conditions.
The IPMA classified six Algarve municipalities with "maximum" fire danger for today: Monchique, Portimão, Silves, Loulé, São Brás de Alportel and Tavira. These municipalities face the most critical conditions in terms of fire risk in the region.
Other Algarve municipalities present elevated danger levels. Aljezur, Lagos, Alcoutim, Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António have "very high" risk, while Vila do Bispo, Lagoa, Albufeira, Faro and Olhão present "high" fire risk.
