Sharp rise in temperatures mainly in the central and southern interior regions and in the Tagus Valley, with values above 35ºC in several places and, in the southern and central interior, possibly around 40ºC. This is the prediction of Meteophons website starting today, Wednesday, and for the next few days.
The meteorological situation will be «marked by atmospheric stability and a combination of atmospheric flows that will cause a mass of hot air from North Africa to enter the Iberian Peninsula». With this hot air mass, desert dust should also come.
O Luso Meteo website, for its part, it indicates that a «moderate concentration» of dust coming from North Africa is expected, according to specialized models, which could «turn the skies yellow on Thursday and Friday and cause (slight) respiratory problems for the most sensitive people».
According to Meteofontes, «no very extreme values yet, but there could be a few days in a row with these warmer temperatures. It's Summer making its presence felt, in a cycle of hotter days again!, explains Meteofontes.
Good news for those on holiday: at least on the south coast of the Algarve, especially in Sotavento, according to IPMA, a slight rise in sea water temperature is also expected.
