Portugal is bracing for a peculiar weather pattern: the return of rain alongside continuing high temperatures. Showers are forecast for Monday across much of the north and central regions, potentially reaching Lisbon. Despite the rainfall, the heatwave will persist, with temperatures expected to reach 38°C in some areas. Even with the rain, temperatures are predicted to remain high, potentially around 29°C. Meteorologists emphasize this is not a sign of "tropicalization," despite the unusual combination of rain and intense heat. The forecast suggests a temporary respite from the extreme heat, but not a full return to cooler conditions. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and take precautions against the heat, even if rainfall occurs.
