FALÉSIA ACOTEIAS BEACH IN ALBUFEIRA CLOSED FOR SWIMMING

Falésia Açoteias beach, in the municipality of Albufeira, was today, July 17, closed to bathing after water quality analyses, carried out by the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA), revealed microbiological values above the reference parameters, making the water unsuitable for bathing.

After receiving information from the APA, advising against swimming at Falésia Açoteias beach, the Regional Health Authority gave instructions for the red flag to be hoisted and notices to be placed at the access points to the beach, prohibiting swimming.

This ban will remain in place until the results of new water quality analyses indicate that the microbiological values are within the reference parameters

PORTUGAL HAS RECORDED 61 CASES OF DENGUE FEVER, ALL IMPORTED

As of 9 June, Portugal had recorded 61 cases of dengue fever – 34 more than had been reported up to 31 March.

Data from the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) also indicate that all cases were imported and that there were no deaths associated with the disease detected in the country.

The death of a Portuguese person in Lisbon at the end of March was not taken into account because the patient “had been diagnosed abroad and subsequently travelled to Portugal for clinical care”, and is therefore not counted as a case in the country, clarifies the DGS.

This week, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) announced its concern about the latest data on mosquito-borne infections, such as dengue fever, Zika and West Nile virus.

The populations of the different mosquitoes that can transmit these diseases to humans, said the ECDC officials, are expanding in Europe, thanks to climate change, which, with warmer summers and milder winters, is helping them to take hold. In addition, the increase in cases in some parts of the world (such as the Americas), combined with an exponential increase in travel between these regions and the European continent, is also contributing to the increase in imported cases.

In this regard, the Olympic Games that will be held in Paris (France) in a few weeks are seen as a “significant risk of transmission”, they warned.

SELF-PROTECTION MEASURES
The ECDC states that, in order to try to contain transmission, it is essential that people take self-protection measures – going to a traveller's consultation before travelling to regions where mosquitoes are endemic, using insect repellent and wearing clothing that covers as much of the body as possible – and carrying out simple acts such as cleaning stagnant water (in containers, gardens or balconies, for example)

Albufeira Sounds this weekend!

06/06/2024

Enjoy the ride! 🌡️☀️🌦️⚡️💨🌫️🌊

⚠️TEMPO ADVERSO 06 a 09Jun⚠️

▶️ Devido à passagem de uma bolsa de ar frio em altitude, entrando em choque com o ar quente à superfície, vamos ter tempo adverso no final da semana, com aguaceiros por vezes fortes, trovoadas e queda de granizo.
▶️ TEMPERATURA: o destaque vai para a faixa litoral a norte de Leiria. que terá uma acentuada subida das máximas de 5ª para 6ª feira, seguida de uma queda a pique de 6ª para sábado. Damos o exemplo de Braga que sobe de 28º para 36º, para depois cair a pique para os 23º!!!
▶️ PRECIPITAÇÃO: Aguaceiros por vezes fortes, de sul para norte, sendo mais intensos entre a noite de 6ª feira e a madrugada de sábado, mas continuando fortes no norte interior durante a tarde de sábado.
▶️TROVOADAS: Os mapas são pouco rigorosos e servem apenas para dar uma ideia de localização e intensidade provável. Cores vermelhas são trovoadas intensas com granizo e cores amareladas esverdeadas são trovoadas mais dispersas e menos "destrutivas".
▶️POEIRAS: Chegam na madrugada de 5ª feira e afastam-se na madrugada de sábado. Poderão ser um fator de inibição das trovoadas, mas onde chover, será chuva de lama.
▶️Iremos atualizando esta informação, mas para já, notamos que a previsão atual é menos "gravosa" do que era há dois ou 3 dias e isso pode ser um bom sinal. Esperemos que sim!

IPMA - EPISODE OF INSTABILITY AND SAHARA DUST IN MAINLAND PORTUGAL
🏜⛈️CHANGE ON WEATHER PATTERN: THUNDERSTORMS AND DUST ARRIVING THURSDAY (6) TO MONDAY (10)

From June 6th, the weather in mainland Portugal will be influenced by a cold air drop (isolated low pressure system in altitude), centered over the Madeira region, moving to the northeast, promoting a circulation from the southern quadrant over the mainland and the consequent transport of Sahara dust originating in North Africa.

Therefore, an increase in cloudiness is expected on June 6th, with a low probability of precipitation occurrence, which, if it occurs, will result in the deposition of dust on surfaces.

The situation will have an increase in instability on June 7th, Friday, with showers expected to occur, more likely from the afternoon onwards and which could at times be strong, sometimes hail and accompanied by thunderstorms.

On June 8th and 9th, Saturday and Sunday, the Sahara dust concentration will decrease, with the forecast of showers remaining, more likely in the North and Centre regions, sometimes hail and accompanied by thunderstorms, until June 10th.

The wind will blow weak to moderate, predominating from the southern quadrant, and some intense gusts cannot be ruled out during the showers.

In the North and Centre regions, the maximum temperature is expected to rise on June 6th and 7th, reaching values between 30 and 35°C, being slightly lower on the coast.
On June 8, the temperature will drop to values between 20 and 25°C, which may be slightly higher in some inland locations.

In the South region, the temperature will have a small rise on June 6th, with values between 30 and 35°C, decreasing from June 7th, reaching between 20 and 25°C on June 8th. After the temperature drop on June 8th, no significant variations are expected until at least the 10th, Monday.

Due to the high uncertainty in the positioning of the aforementioned cold air drop, taking into account that slight deviations can have a high impact on the forecast of the most affected regions, it is advisable to monitor the evolution of the situation.
This communication will be updated if necessary.
