Portalegre: warning of prolonged hot weather until Monday

Rádio Portalegre12 September 2026 at 11:48

The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere extended the yellow warning for hot weather for the Portalegre district. The warning extension remains in effect until 18:00 on Monday.

The yellow warning represents the least severe level of adverse weather, but indicates conditions that require attention. IPMA is the organization responsible for monitoring and issuing these weather warnings in Portugal.

The Portalegre district will thus be affected by high temperatures over a prolonged period. The population should follow the instructions from authorities and take precautions against intense heat.

Why this matters

Residents of Portalegre should prepare for high temperatures over a prolonged period, which may affect the health of vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children. The yellow warning implies moderate risk, so it is recommended to avoid sun exposure during the hottest hours and stay hydrated.

Portugal harvests grapes at night to escape heat reaching up to 40°C

In Portugal, rural workers are harvesting grapes at night to escape extreme heat reaching up to 40°C, using headlamps and pruning shears in properties surrounded by vineyards. The practice, reported by workers such as Maria Jerónimo Mendes, offers cooler conditions and better visibility of the grape bunches. Climate change is intensifying and prolonging periods of extreme heat and drought across Europe, with the European Union's climate monitor reporting that Western Europe experienced the hottest summer ever recorded, while August was the single hottest month ever recorded globally.
