This study investigates how atmospheric dynamics increased fire danger in Mainland Portugal during early July 2022. The synoptic circulation from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analysis and mesoscale conditions from Meso-NH model simulation at 1.5 km resolution revealed atmospheric conditions before and during the fire. Fire risk was assessed using the Fire Weather Index (FWI) from Meso-NH outputs. A blocking pattern was configured by an upper-level low-pressure system in early July, remaining semi-stationary west of Mainland Portugal until 18 July. The counter-clockwise circulation of the cut-off low resulted in dry, warm air advection from North Africa, enhancing fire danger over the Iberian Peninsula. In southern Portugal, a jet-like wind with strong east\/southeasterly flow from Gibraltar Strait favored rapid fire spread. This circulation below 1 km altitude from the Mediterranean Sea enhanced fire danger through strong winds, independent of the large-scale blocking pattern. This study presents an atmospheric scenario for evaluating fire danger in Southern Portugal, important for pre-firefighting management that complemented previous studies for the region. Also, high-resolution FWI calculations using Meso-NH emphasized the importance of improved temporal and spatial resolution for fire danger assessment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fire8090362","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,11]],"date-time":"2025-09-11T08:55:02Z","timestamp":1757580902000},"page":"362","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Synoptic and Regional Meteorological Drivers of a Wildfire in the Wildland\u2013Urban Interface of Faro (Portugal)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0175-2100","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Flavio Tiago","family":"Couto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Sci-Tech Research in Earth System and Energy (CREATE), Universidade de \u00c9vora, Rom\u00e3o Ramalho Street, 59, 7000-671 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"Departamento de F\u00edsica, Escola de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia (ECT), Universidade de \u00c9vora, Rom\u00e3o Ramalho Street, 59, 7000-671 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1458-3732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e1tia","family":"Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Sci-Tech Research in Earth System and Energy (CREATE), Universidade de \u00c9vora, Rom\u00e3o Ramalho Street, 59, 7000-671 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0046-0368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolina","family":"Purifica\u00e7\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Sci-Tech Research in Earth System and Energy (CREATE), Universidade de \u00c9vora, Rom\u00e3o Ramalho Street, 59, 7000-671 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8680-1244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filippe Lemos Maia","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Sci-Tech Research in Earth System and Energy (CREATE), Universidade de \u00c9vora, Rom\u00e3o Ramalho Street, 59, 7000-671 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0698-2100","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugo Nunes","family":"Andrade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Oceanologia, Instituto de Oceanografia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG), Avenida It\u00e1lia, Km 8, Rio Grande 96203-900, RS, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4211-8667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuno","family":"Andrade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctorate Program in Tourism, University of Extremadura, 06006 Badajoz, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4881-5810","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9 Becker","family":"Nunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Meteorologia, Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPEL), Cap\u00e3o do Le\u00e3o 96160-000, RS, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4627-6128","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuno","family":"Guiomar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development (MED) & Global Change and Sustainability (CHANGE), Universidade de \u00c9vora, Apartado 94, 7006-554 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1311-6291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Salgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Sci-Tech Research in Earth System and Energy (CREATE), Universidade de \u00c9vora, Rom\u00e3o Ramalho Street, 59, 7000-671 \u00c9vora, Portugal"},{"name":"Departamento de F\u00edsica, Escola de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia (ECT), Universidade de \u00c9vora, Rom\u00e3o Ramalho Street, 59, 7000-671 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125669","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jenvman.2025.125669","article-title":"Protected areas as hotspots of wildfire activity in fire-prone Temperate and Mediterranean biomes","volume":"385","author":"Boer","year":"2025","journal-title":"J.
