In June, the Portuguese emergency services (INEM) recorded an increase of 6,000 calls compared to June of the previous year. This rise is attributed primarily to a heatwave and high temperatures, which led to more requests for assistance. The most common reasons for these calls included respiratory difficulties, cardiovascular issues, and dehydration episodes.
