Several municipalities in the northern and central interior and the Algarve are at a very high risk of rural fire, according to IPMA.
The institute indicates that the risk of rural fire will remain high at least until Saturday in some municipalities of the northern and central interior and Algarve, easing on Sunday.
This risk level, determined by IPMA, has five stages ranging from reduced to maximum. Calculations are made based on air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and the amount of precipitation in the last 24 hours.
Today’s forecast for the mainland predicts slightly cloudy or clear skies, light wind, and a small drop in maximum temperature on the west coast.
Minimum temperatures will range between 7 degrees Celsius (in Bragança) and 16 (in Portalegre and Faro), and maximums between 21 (in Viana do Castelo) and 31 (in Évora and Beja).
