The Azores High should strengthen and influence mainland Portugal in three distinct moments over the next ten days, assuming a determining role in the evolution of the weather in the country. The projections indicate up to three phases of anticyclonic influence, interspersed with changes in atmospheric circulation.
The beginning of this period will be marked by an episode of anomalous heat, followed by a more evident thermal drop. Despite the temperature fluctuations, the result will be a succession of periods of stable and dry weather.
The Azores High is an area of subtropical high pressure in the North Atlantic. When it expands over the Iberian Peninsula, it favors downward air movements, making it difficult for cloud and precipitation formation.
