No "período mais crítico", entre quinta-feira e
sábado, em vários locais do Alentejo, vale dos rios Douro e Tejo e na Beira
Baixa a temperatura máxima poderá chegar aos 45ºC e, num ou outro local,
ultrapassar este valor. Em Évora e Santarém, as máximas poderão bater os 46ºC.
Entretanto a Europa é confrontada como uma seca sem
precedentes.
Vários países já passarem à fase mais agravada de
racionamento de água. Enquanto isso a “festa” das viagens incessantes do Turismo
e do “Low Cost” continuam, embora as consequências deste “modelo” insustentável
para o Palaneta sejam conhecidas.

Em Portugal o valor mais elevado aconteceu a 1 de agosto de
2003, na Amareleja (47,4 graus), no concelho de Moura, no distrito de Beja. O
registo mais alto da Europa foi na Grécia, em julho de 1977.
A Península Ibérica está prestes a atingir os valores mais
quentes dos últimos 41 anos, com Espanha e Portugal a poderem chegar a
temperaturas entre os 48 e os 50 graus. Segundo o radar “Accuweather”, caso
esse cenário se confirme, irá fazer com que não só seja batido o recorde nos
dois países, mas também de toda a Europa, cuja temperatura mais elevada
aconteceu em julho de 1977, na Grécia.
Esta vaga de calor que se instalou em Portugal desde
quarta-feira deve-se a uma massa de ar quente e seco vinda do Norte de África e
que está a afetar o sudoeste da Europa. Todo o continente está em alerta
laranja e vermelho, com este último a ficar ativo nos distritos de Santarém,
Beja, Castelo Branco, com os restantes distritos a ficarem no laranja até às
23h59 desta quinta-feira.
O alerta vermelho irá prolongar-se até ao próximo sábado de
acordo com o Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA) e das 18 capitais
de distrito de Portugal Continental, metade vão bater e igualar os recordes das
temperaturas mais elevadas.
Beja registou 45,42 graus em agosto de 2003 e no próximo
sábado irá chegar aos 47 graus, enquanto Braga irá chegar aos 41º já esta
sexta-feira, valor idêntico ao registado em julho de 2010. O mesmo cenário
acontece em Bragança, que no dia 3 de agosto vai atingir os 39 graus,
temperatura igual à registada em agosto de 2003.
Já Castelo Branco vai chegar aos 44 graus na sexta-feira e
assim bater os 41,6 graus de agosto de 2003. Évora irá bater os 44,5 graus de
agosto de 2003, para no sábado chegar aos 46 graus. A capital portuguesa irá
registar no próximo sábado 43 graus, um grau acima dos registados no mês de
agosto de 2003.
Por sua vez o distrito de Santarém, que em agosto de 2003
registou 45,3 graus prepara-se para no sábado chegar aos 46º, enquanto Setúbal
vai atingir os 45 graus também no sábado e assim superar os 43,5 de julho de
1944. Finalmente Vila Real vai registar esta sexta-feira os mesmos 41 graus de
agosto de 2005.
Contudo, as temperaturas mais altas de Portugal vão
registar-se nos distritos de Évora e Beja. Em Évora, as vilas de Portel,
Reguengos de Monsaraz, Mourão e Vendas Novas vão chegar aos 47 graus. Valor
idêntico em Cuba, Vidigueira, Serpa, praia do Malhão, Milfontes e Almograve,
pertencentes a Beja.

London (CNN)Forecasters have warned of potentially
record-breaking temperatures in Spain and Portugal this week as much of Europe
swelters in a heat wave that has left some farmers suffering drought
conditions.
The UK Met Office said parts of the Iberian peninsula could
beat the all-time continental European record of 48 degrees Celsius (118.4
degrees Fahrenheit) this week, with inland areas likely to be hotter than the
coast.
That record was set in the Greek capital, Athens, in July
1977. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the record for Spain
is currently 47.3 Celsius, while for Portugal it's 47.4 Celsius.

Temperatures across
Iberia could beat the all time continental European record of 48.0 °C later
this week. The intense #heatwave will extend into much of southwest France as
well
2:03 PM - Jul 31, 2018
The Portuguese capital, Lisbon, could see a high of 41
Celsius on Saturday, according to CNN forecasters. Its average temperature is
28 Celsius for this time of year.
A heat wave warning was in place across much of southern and
eastern France on Thursday. The national meteorological agency, Méteo France,
said Wednesday that temperatures in the south of the country would come close
to record highs in the coming days.
Vacationers have been warned to take precautions against
extreme temperatures, as the heat wave coincides with the peak holiday season
in Europe.
Vulnerable people such as children and the elderly could be
at risk of heat stroke, which occurs when a person's core body temperature
rises above 40 Celsius and can lead to permanent brain, heart and kidney damage
and, in more severe instances, death.
Spain's meteorological office, Aemet, warned of high
temperatures lasting from Wednesday into early next week.

The hot spell will be particularly intense and long-lasting
in Spain's southwest, the central zone and the Ebro Valley, with temperatures
above 40 Celsius, it said. In inland areas of the northwestern region of
Galicia, normally known for its mild, rainy weather, the mercury could hit 41
Celsius on Thursday, it said.
Wildfires have raged in Sweden and neighboring Scandinavian
nations in recent weeks amid unusually hot, dry conditions.
Satellite images taken by Copernicus, the EU's earth
observation program, show the heat wave's impact on vegetation in northern
Europe between late June and mid-July.
The United Kingdom is also experiencing a prolonged spell of
hot, dry weather. The Met Office said last week that some parts of east and
southeast England had had virtually no rain for more than 50 days.
Thunderstorms over the weekend brought with them rain and cooler weather, but
temperatures are again on the rise.
The National Farmers' Union hosted an emergency summit
Wednesday with representatives of the UK government, at which it called for its
members to be given help to cope with the conditions. Farmers are struggling
with irrigation, heat stress on livestock, the loss of crops and a shortage of
forage for animals, the union said.
The heat wave's effects on vegetation are also seen in the
United Kingdom and neighboring countries between late June and late July.
"The impacts of the dry and hot weather have been
hugely challenging for many farms across the country, with many not seeing such
weather in their lifetimes," said NFU President Minette Batters.
The UK Environment Agency said it would allow greater
flexibility in the rules on water extraction to help farmers manage the
situation.

Meanwhile, German Agriculture Minister Julia Klöckner wrote
to the European Commission on Wednesday urging it to take steps to help farmers
affected by drought.
Food for livestock could become scarce in the coming weeks,
she warned.
