The forecast also indicates generally light winds, becoming moderate to strong in the highlands, a slight rise in minimum temperature, and a decrease in maximum temperature.
Minimum temperatures will range between 11 degrees Celsius (in Guarda) and 18 degrees (in Portalegre), while maximum temperatures will range between 21 degrees (in Guarda) and 30 degrees (in Braga).
On Friday, periods of rain or showers accompanied by thunderstorms and locally intense conditions are expected throughout mainland Portugal. This scenario is likely to continue at least until Sunday.
