Portugal is bracing for a new heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach as high as 44 degrees Celsius. The country has issued a red alert for extreme heat, particularly affecting the Lisbon and Setúbal regions starting Thursday, July 2. The national meteorological service has warned that the extreme conditions pose a significant risk for wildfires due to ongoing drought and exceptionally high temperatures.
This upcoming wave of heat marks the third such occurrence in Europe this summer, with authorities across various countries, including France, remaining vigilant as they prepare for potentially dangerous conditions. In relation to the heat, the government has advised citizens to take precautions, and certain regions are already under orange alerts ahead of the red alerts in the most affected areas. As the heatwave unfolds, the situation continues to be monitored closely by health and safety officials.
