“There will be a slight increase in temperature in the coming days, but there will be a more pronounced increase in temperature from Tuesday,” he said.
The heat, which according to the expert will be “high for this time of year,” will be felt “especially in the Southern region and in the Tagus Valley. In the western coastal strip, maximum temperatures will be moderate, around twenty degrees, due to the northerly direction.”
Despite this, the meteorologist warns of the occurrence of “strong winds” in the western coastal strip, as well as in high points of the coast. On the southern coast of the Algarve, “where there is no transport of sea air but continental air,” warmer winds are expected.
