Rural fire danger increases in Madeira until Tuesday

dnoticias.pt12 September 2026 at 12:23

The Regional Civil Protection Service (SRPC) issued a warning to the population this Saturday alerting to the increase in rural fire danger in Madeira. The warning is due to the gradual worsening of meteorological conditions expected over the coming days, remaining in effect until Tuesday, September 15th.

The alert is based on weather forecasts from the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA), which indicate conditions favourable to the ignition and spread of rural fires in the region.

The most affected areas will be mainly those identified as vulnerable, although the original text appears truncated in this section.

Why this matters

Residents and visitors to Madeira should be aware of this warning, avoiding activities that may cause ignitions and following Civil Protection guidelines. The warning results from adverse weather forecasts by IPMA that worsen the risk of rural fires in the region.

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.
