The Portuguese weather service (IPMA) has updated its temperature forecasts for the next few days and predicts 35°C in Santarém and Alcácer do Sal for Friday with an Algarve rise to 30ºC on Saturday.
“These weather conditions, coupled with extreme or severe drought and tinder dry forests, significantly increase the risk of forest fires starting and spreading, with a high number of Portugal’s council areas on the ‘high risk’ alert,” states the weather service. (here)
