SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 16:17

The risk of rural fire will increase in the coming days in several regions of the country. The main cause is the continuation of adverse meteorological conditions, with hot and dry weather persisting, accompanied by a gradual increase in wind intensity.

According to information from the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA), maximum temperatures are expected to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the interior of the southern region of the country. This meteorological situation keeps the fire risk at high levels.

Why this matters
