With the exception of the Lagoa and Vila Real de Santo António council areas, the Algarve is at high, very high or maximum fire risk.
The classifications issued by the Portuguese weather service (IPMA) reports that the Loulé and São Brás de Alportel areas are at the 'red alert' maximum risk level.
At the orange level, ‘very high risk of fire,’ are Aljezur, Monchique, Silves, Tavira, Alcoutim and Castro Marim, while others are on high risk, except Lagoa and Vila Real de Santo António whic are on 'yellow alert'.
For tomorrow and Thursday, the risks remain very real across most of the region with all those involved in the prevention and fighting of fires, on maximum alert. Further classifications will be released but with no rain forecast, little change is expected.
For now, and according to the official website of the Civil Protection, there are no forest fires registered in the region.
