|July 12, 2022
Around 2,800 firefighters have been battling multiple wildfires in central and northern Portugal amid a heatwave, prompting the government to implement a “state of contingency”.
-
OUREM (Portugal) • The fires have been burning in several areas since last Thursday, destroying at least two homes.
Nearly 250 fires were reported to have started on Friday and Saturday.
The blazes come amid an intense heatwave in Portugal, with temperatures reaching over 40 deg C in the past week and expected to rise in the coming days.
Scientists say extreme weather events such as heatwaves and droughts are linked to climate change. And they are expected to become even more frequent, more prolonged and more intense in the future.
