Maximum temperatures expected to rise, potentially reaching values close to...

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 09:00

Maximum temperatures are expected to rise, potentially reaching values close to 40°C in the interior of the Southern region and the Tagus valley. The information was confirmed by the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA).

The rural fire danger will be very high to maximum, especially in the Central and Southern interior of the country, as well as in the Algarve region.

The meteorological situation suggests conditions conducive to an increase in fire risk over the coming days.

Why this matters

Readers in mainland Portugal are facing extreme heat conditions with temperatures potentially reaching 40°C, which poses health risks, especially for vulnerable groups. The maximum rural fire danger requires increased vigilance from the population in the most affected areas of the interior and the Algarve, with potential impact on agricultural activities and civil protection resource management.

Rain doesn't let up: to the disappointment of cariocas and tourists, clouds should cover the city until Friday

Persistent cloudiness has disappointed cariocas and tourists seeking the sunny postcard of Rio de Janeiro. The dense, gray clouds, which contrast with the empty sand of Arpoador, should cover the city until Thursday, maintaining the overcast weather pattern that repeated throughout practically the entire month. The image of the cold, dark sea, observed by few spectators under beach umbrellas that served almost no purpose, illustrates well the atypical scenario for those visiting the city during this period.
