The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) has placed the Azores under yellow alert due to the forecast of high maximum temperatures from Tuesday to Thursday.
In a statement, IPMA said a warning for “persistent high maximum temperatures” is in effect from 12:00 local time (13:00 Lisbon) Tuesday until 11:00 Thursday for all islands of the Azores archipelago, in the Eastern, Central and Western groups.
The eastern group consists of the islands of São Miguel and Santa Maria, the western group of the islands of Flores and Corvo, and the central group of the islands of Faial, Pico, São Jorge, Graciosa and Terceira.
A yellow warning, the least serious of the three, is issued whenever there is a risk to certain activities due to weather conditions.
