Heatwave Elevates Forest Fire Risk in Portugal
The heatwave in Portugal continues, raising the wildfire risk level to the highest in 11 municipalities in the north and center of the country. These areas are within the districts of Braga, Guarda, and Castelo Branco. Additionally, more than 50 other municipalities across regions from the north to the Algarve in the south are also under a very high risk level. The classification is based on criteria including temperatures, humidity, wind speeds, and rainfall amounts over the past 24 hours. The Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere has issued a yellow warning covering 14 regions, which remains in effect until Saturday evening. The ongoing rise in temperatures increases the likelihood of wildfires breaking out.
