About 60 municipalities in 10 districts of mainland Portugal are at maximum rural fire danger. This extreme risk situation covers territories in several regions of the country.
Temperatures will remain high in some regions, contributing to conditions favorable to the spread of fires. IPMA (Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere) is the source responsible for information regarding fire danger levels and weather conditions.
Readers living in the affected areas face extreme fire risk, which may imply restrictions on outdoor activities, burnings and controlled fires, and increased vigilance by authorities. The high temperatures forecast contribute to worsening danger conditions, increasing the likelihood of ignitions and making it more difficult to combat any fires.
