Due to persistently high maximum temperatures, the warnings that are already in effect will be extended until 6:00 PM on Wednesday.

Also in Madeira, the south coast, and mountainous regions, a yellow warning is in effect for the same reason, until 6:00 PM on Tuesday.

A yellow warning is issued when there is a risk for certain activities depending on the weather.

For today, the IPMA forecasts generally clear skies, stronger winds along the coast and in the highlands, especially in the afternoon, and a slight drop in maximum temperatures, especially on the west coast south of Cabo da Roca.

Évora, at 38º Celsius, will be the hottest city today, and Sagres the coolest, at 24º.
