TV RECORD EUROPA8 September 2026 at 09:41

Thirty municipalities in six districts of mainland Portugal are today at maximum danger of rural fire. The affected districts are Bragança, Guarda, Castelo Branco, Santarém, Portalegre and Faro.

Maximum rural fire danger represents the highest level on the risk scale, indicating extremely favorable conditions for flame spread and the development of large-scale wildfires.

The information was made available on the RECORD TV website, which invited readers to consult this and other news on their digital platform.

This alert comes during a critical period for rural fires in Portugal, a country that regularly faces situations of high fire intensity, especially during the summer months.

A cold front is expected to hit mainland Portugal on Tuesday, October 8th, bringing rain to the North and Centre of the country.

Eight districts will be affected: Viana do Castelo, Braga, Porto, Aveiro, Vila Real, Viseu, Bragança, and Guarda.

Heat gives a break but 40ºC are back: see how the weather will be this week

Portugal will face a week of major weather contrasts, with intense heat returning to the mainland after a brief break. Temperatures are expected to reach 40 degrees in several regions of the country, remaining high throughout most of the week, according to forecasts from the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA). The inland areas of Alentejo and Trás-os-Montes will be the most affected by extreme heat, while the coast may benefit from some sea breezes that will partially ease the temperature. Authorities recommend special care with sun exposure and adequate hydration.
