Wind and heavy rain with Bernard’s depression

Due to bad weather, the districts of Faro, Beja, Évora, Setúbal, Portalegre and Santarem are under an orange warning (the second most severe). And in yellow warning Lisbon, Leiria, Coimbra, Castelo Branco, Viseu, Guarda and Aveiro. The head of the National Emergency Management and Civil Protection Directorate, Andre Fernandez, warned of possible “floods in Greater Lisbon and the Setúbal Peninsula.”

Bad weather and heavy rain caused flooding at the Pingo Doce do Lavradio (Barreiro) hypermarket this Saturday, forcing it to close. In Madeira, the onset of the depression led to the cancellation of at least 30 flights until the early evening.
