After a Monday still marked by sun and heat, the weather situation begins to change in Portugal on Tuesday, September 8. The change will be caused by the approach of a cold front associated with a depression in the North Atlantic. Luso Meteo predicts the return of rain to some regions, accompanied by increased cloud cover and a drop in temperatures. Tuesday begins still relatively stable across most of the mainland territory, but conditions are expected to deteriorate gradually throughout the day.
The highest probability of precipitation is concentrated in the North of the country, where rain should start to appear from the afternoon. The front may then spread some precipitation to the Centre region, although in a less widespread manner. In the South, the forecast points to a much drier scenario, with clear skies contrasting with the cloud cover expected in the North and Centre regions.
The passage of the front will be accompanied by a drop in temperatures, especially in the North and Centre regions. Still, the heat does not disappear entirely and the southern interior should continue to record high values for September. The wind is also expected to increase in some areas, anticipating a windier scenario predicted for the following day.
Wednesday, September 9, should present more adverse conditions, with stronger winds and lower temperatures. Rain may still persist during the early morning and start of the day in some regions, before the weather begins to stabilize again. However, the change should be short-lived, as Luso Meteo predicts that the heat will regain strength in the following days, with a new sharp rise in temperatures near the end of the week.
