* Warm and dry conditions lead to an outbreak of wildfires, with 700 firefighters attending a blaze in Monchique in the Algarve affecting over 1,000 hectares (3.9 sq mi) of forest.[23][24] On 10 August the fires are extinguished after burning for a week, by which point cooler conditions begin to prevail across southern Portugal.[25]
