Rising temperatures worsen fire risk and GNR warns of precautions to take

Jornal Nordeste13 September 2026 at 12:44

The rising temperatures are worsening the fire risk, leading authorities to reinforce warnings to the population. The National Republican Guard (GNR) issued advisories about precautions to take during this period of heightened danger.

In the district of Bragança, the situation is particularly concerning. The municipalities in this region will be under very high to maximum fire danger warning, which means conditions favorable to the occurrence and spread of fires.

The GNR appeals to the population to take precautions, avoiding activities that may cause ignitions and to be aware of weather conditions. This alert comes in the context of a heat wave that has been affecting several regions of the country, significantly increasing the fire danger.

Why this matters

Readers in the district of Bragança are facing extreme weather conditions that directly increase the fire risk in their localities. The population should be aware of GNR alerts and adopt prevention measures, especially in outdoor activities that may cause sparks, as a way to protect people, property and territory.

Continental Portugal under hot weather: highs of 38 ºC before a change in atmospheric circulation

Continental Portugal is facing an intense heat episode with maximum temperatures that could reach 38 ºC, particularly in the interior regions, with thermal anomalies up to 10 ºC above climatological normal. The heat will persist today and tomorrow, affecting both the coast and the interior of the country. This situation is due to the strengthening of an anticyclonic ridge over the Iberian Peninsula, which brings a very hot air mass, with temperatures at around 1500 metres exceeding 20 ºC (reaching 23–24 ºC in the interior). From Tuesday onwards, a change in atmospheric circulation should gradually lower temperatures, bringing some relief.
