O autumn has already arrived two weeks ago, however, it seems that the heat will continue at least for the next week between October 12th and 19th. Temperatures can reach 30oC.
A Meteored Portugal indicates that “the week from October 12th to 19th should be marked by temperatures above normal and little precipitation in mainland Portugal”.
“ Despite the temporal distance still require some caution regarding the exact values, the models point to a very hot start of week for mid-October ", says.
Now, on Monday, October 12, “Meteored maps predict temperatures close to 30oC in several areas of Alentejo, and can even reach about 31oC in the Alentejo Seaside, particularly in the Alcácer do Sal region.” Also Évora and Beja “may approach the 29oC while Lisbon may be around 28oC”.
However, “heat will not be limited to the South.” Thus, “in the interior center, some localities may approach 27oC, including in the district of Viseu”.
“ On the other hand, the coastline, particularly near the North and Central Sea, should have more contained temperatures due to Atlantic influence ", points out.
It is not “comparable to the heat observed during the summer”
The Meteored notes, however, that “it is not an episode comparable to the heat observed during the summer, but it is clearly high temperatures for this time frame”. The warm weather should be maintained throughout the week.
It should be noted that, “although there may still be adjustments in the forecast due to the temporal distance, the main models currently point to a consistent trend: mid-October should bring temperatures above normal, possibility of 30oC or more at the beginning of the week and little rain in mainland Portugal.”.
Beware of the heat
It is recalled that DGS published three guidelines with recommendations to minimize the effects of heat waves on the most vulnerable groups, including elderly and homeless people, and with dietary guidance for high temperature periods.
The documents published in the ‘site’ of the Directorate-General for Health are intended for the social response units and the National Network of Integrated Continuing Care (RNCCI), às street teams, health professionals and social partners accompanying homeless people and the food area, bringing together prevention measures adapted to different contexts.
