CNN Portugal14 September 2026 at 08:42

The Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere issued a yellow warning for heat in 15 districts of mainland Portugal and Madeira. The yellow warning is the second lowest level on a three-tier scale and indicates a risk situation for certain activities dependent on weather conditions.

IPMA forecasts for this Monday on the mainland the continuation of hot weather, with mostly clear skies. The meteorological situation remains favorable to the persistence of high temperatures in several regions of the country.

During Monday afternoon, moderate northwest wind is expected on the mainland. This sea breeze may bring some relief in coastal areas, although temperatures will remain high inland.

Authorities recommend special care with sun exposure and hydration, especially during the hottest hours. IPMA continues to monitor the situation and may update the weather warnings if conditions worsen.

Why this matters

Readers in mainland Portugal and Madeira are facing high temperatures and should take precautions against the heat, especially vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children.
