These fires are even more disturbing in Spain and Portugal, as the Mediterranean basin has been a scene of devastating fires for weeks, especially in Greece and Algeria.
“In Spain, fire risk is estimated at “extrem” in most of the country, today and Friday”, said the National Meteorological Agency (AEMET), which has not yet provided its risk forecast for the coming days.
“in Portugal, the fire alarm is “mexal” between Thursday and Monday in the country's northern and central internal regions, as well as in some areas of the Algarve-”, Météo Portugal reported.
These dangers are caused by a wave of heat that will bring temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit [40 ° Celcius], at least until Monday, in most parts of the peninsula, clearly higher in some areas, where temperatures can reach 45 degrees Celsius. / AFP/
