Temperatures have dropped in mainland Portugal, although values remain high in the interior of the country. Today marks the beginning of a drop in temperatures that will remain until Thursday, before a new rise in temperatures expected from Friday onwards. According to the latest update of weather maps based on the European ECMWF model, practically all district capitals should record values below 30°C, with the exception of two that will maintain temperatures above this threshold over the coming days. The article does not explicitly identify which two district capitals these are. In the inland areas of the country, thermometers remain elevated nonetheless, with temperatures that may reach 35°C in Castelo Branco, and heat is expected to remain firm in the southern region of Portugal.
