New satellite image shows wildfires in Portugal sweeping near the Algarve
The number of fires in Portugal on Tuesday, showing a significant reduction
The only fire out of control in Spain is in the southwest near the Portuguese border. Some 20 people in two rural hostels were evacuated. Strong winds were reported to be complicating firefighting efforts. The spate of wildfires comes as Portugal and Spain are experiencing several days of extreme heat, with temperatures in many areas rising above 40C.
On Monday, the Portuguese city of Santarem, about 80km northeast of Lisbon, set the year's highest temperature at 46.4C. Temperatures in the country are forecast to fall nationwide from Tuesday, though they will mostly remain above 30C. Spain's AEMET weather agency said temperatures will continue to rise at least until Friday, with some areas of the southern Andalusia region hitting 44C., which may be using cookies and other technologies.
