The Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) placed several municipalities in the Viseu district under very high and high rural fire danger. This classification represents a significant alert for the population and local authorities, who must reinforce prevention and surveillance measures.
The Viseu district, which traditionally faces challenges during fire season, now sees several of its municipalities covered by this high-risk situation. Weather forecasts contribute to this classification, with high temperatures and low humidity favoring fire spread.
Civil Protection authorities warn of the need to avoid practices that could cause ignitions, such as burnings and controlled burns, and recommend heightened vigilance from the population. IPMA continues to monitor conditions and may update risk levels as the meteorological situation evolves.
