Law No. 62/2026, published on September 10, introduces a restrictive migration framework by eliminating in-country regularization pathways, including vocational training paths and expressions of interest, requiring visa applications to begin abroad. It also extends administrative detention for removal up to six months (or 360 days in complex cases), restricts voluntary departure to 30 days, tightens enforcement powers for PSP and GNR, and sets stricter criteria for parents with minor children to claim immunity from removal.
Temperatures will rise starting Tuesday, October 13, with maximums between 24-30°C (up to 34°C in the Alentejo and Tejo Valley). This warm spell is expected to persist through the week, while coastal areas north of Cabo da Roca may remain cooler (20-22°C) due to persistent fog. A potential drop in temperatures and instability is forecast starting Friday, October 16, or Saturday, October 17.
