Le Portugal a vécu son été le plus chaud et sec depuis 94 ans
3 vagues de chaleur, des températures records, des feux dévastateurs et une sécheresse historique : l'été 2025 restera gravé dans la mémoire des Portugais
www.portugal.frHere are the latest available updates on Portugal’s May temperature records.
-
Portugal recently recorded its highest-ever May temperature, with Mora in central Portugal reaching about 40.3°C, surpassing the previous May record of 40°C set in 1953 and 2001. This marks a notable expansion of record heat into the month of May, reinforcing the impact of the ongoing heatwave in the region south of the Tagus River.[2][4]
-
Other May readings during the current heatwave also pointed to extremely hot conditions across southern Portugal, with IPMA noting continued heat stress in inland areas and warnings of potential further increases in coming days.[2]
-
For context, separate reports over recent years show Portugal setting multiple record highs during hot months (e.g., June records such as Mora’s 46.6°C in 2025), illustrating the broader trend of rising temperatures and more frequent extreme heat events in the country.[6]
If you want, I can pull the most up-to-date details from IPMA or major news outlets and summarize them with direct citations. Would you like me to do that?
