PTSeven districts on orange alert and about a hundred municipalities in maximum fire danger.
On Tuesday, July 7th, approximately 100 municipalities in northern and central inland areas of Portugal, along with 13 municipalities in the districts of Évora, Beja, and Faro, were under maximum fire risk. The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) issued warnings across the mainland, except for more than a dozen municipalities in several coastal districts. Seven districts—Bragança, Évora, Guarda, Faro, Beja, Castelo Branco, and Portalegre—are under orange alerts due to high temperatures, which will remain in effect until Wednesday night before switching to yellow alerts. Additional yellow alerts were issued for other regions due to sustained high temperatures. The government has extended the state of emergency through Thursday evening in 10 mainland districts, citing ongoing heatwaves and unfavorable weather forecasts. Temperature ranges for the mainland today include minimums between 15°C and 22°C and maximums between 23°C and 40°C, while the Madeira archipelago experiences milder conditions.
