As of this Wednesday, Portugal will face a heat wave that can reach "historical highs". Faced with this, there are 9 districts with red warnings and 4 counties at maximum risk of fire. Added to these factors is a dust cloud from North Africa.

At least until next Sunday, a cloud of dust will hit the whole country. People with respiratory problems, children, the elderly and pregnant are the most at risk groups that can be affected with the particles that will hover in the air.

My Air Quality Monitor is already registering it, as we can see by the graphs:
