The Portuguese Sea and Atmosphere Institute (IPMA) classified six Algarve municipalities with 'maximum' rural fire danger during today. The affected municipalities are Monchique, Portimão, Silves, Loulé, São Brás de Alportel and Tavira.

Six other municipalities were classified with 'very high' danger: Aljezur, Vila do Bispo, Lagos, Alcoutim, Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António. Lagoa, Albufeira, Faro and Olhão present 'high' danger.

The IPMA uses a five-level scale of rural fire danger, ranging from 'reduced' to 'maximum'. The calculations are based on air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and the amount of precipitation recorded in the previous 24 hours.
