Alert released, cautioning potential hazard ahead
Heads up, folks! Here's the lowdown on the weather forecast today. Four districts have been issued a yellow warning for a rainy spell from noon to 6 PM. Prepare for some persistent, sometimes heavy showers.
The meteorological authority, the IPMA, predicts a dip in the mercury today, particularly the maximum, which is expected to plummet more inland due to Western winds and downpours. Speaking of winds, they're predicted to be quite a force on the coastal strip and in the hills.
Mind the chill, guys! Minimum temperatures will range between 4°C (Guarda) and 13°C (Sagres), while maximum temperatures will swing between 10°C (Guarda) and 19°C (Faro and Sagres).
Now, here's the scoop, straight from the horse's mouth. While the IPMA hasn't issued a yellow warning for heavy downpours and gusty winds recently, Portugal has faced yellow warnings for scorching heat across several regions, including Viseu, Guarda, and Lisbon, in the recent past. There have been rain and thunderstorm warnings in the north, but they're not related to the West winds and heavy showers.
