A The second half of 2024 was calm in terms of weather events, but when September arrived everything changed. First, there were the 128 forest fires that broke out between the 15th and the 21st and resulted in the deaths of nine people and several hectares and houses destroyed. About two weeks later, storms “Kirk”, “Leslie” and “Berenice” brought wind and heavy rain, causing flooding and extensive material damage. And now Portugal is experiencing something of a calm after the storm, with temperatures reaching 24 degrees across most of the country.
