According to information available on the website of IPMA, the districts at maximum risk belong to the districts of Bragança, Guarda, Castelo Branco, Leiria, Coimbra, Santarém, Portalegre and Faro.
The IPMA also placed at very high and high risk more than 160 municipalities of the interior north and centre of the country, the coast of the districts of Aveiro, Leiria and Lisbon, as well as the entire region of Alentejo.
The fire risk, determined by IPMA, has five levels, ranging from 'low' to 'maximum', and the calculations are obtained from the air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and amount of precipitation in the last 24 hours.
For today, the forecasts of the IPMA point to clear skies and the possibility of light showers in the North and Centre.
The IPMA also indicates that the wind will blow strong on the west coast and in the highlands, with gusts up to 65-70 km / h.
The minimum temperatures will range between 10 degrees Celsius (Guarda) and 18 ° (Aveiro), and maximum between 21 ° (Aveiro) and 30 ° (Faro and Castelo Branco).
I'm curious does somebody know, why maximum risk when the temperatures are relatively low (28 in Algarve is low for August!).

Steve ignores how 119 arsonists were recently arrested!
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN!!!
Can you imagine the number of those not arrested?
