Summer continues to make itself felt in mainland Portugal, with thermometers recording a significant rise in temperatures during the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, the heat should intensify throughout the mainland territory, with special impact on the coast.
Lisbon will be one of the most affected cities, with forecasts of temperatures that could reach 36 degrees. The heat will not be limited to the capital, extending to other regions of the country.
The phenomenon is associated with the persistence of typical summer weather conditions, which have kept temperatures elevated over the past few days. The expected rise for the weekend represents an intensification of this trend.
Authorities and meteorological services have been alerting the population to the precautions to take during these periods of intense heat, especially during the hours of greatest sun exposure.
