Correio da Manhã14 September 2026 at 16:28

Protection Civil issued an alert regarding the meteorological forecast that favors the occurrence of rural fires. The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) predicts the continuation of hot and dry weather over the coming days. These conditions are joined by a gradual increase in wind intensity, which raises the risk of fire spread. Authorities are warning the population about the dangers associated with these meteorological conditions.

Why this matters

The continuation of hot and dry weather, combined with increasing wind, creates favorable conditions for the occurrence of rural fires, which represents a significant risk for populations and rural territories. This alert allows authorities and citizens to take appropriate precautions.
