Bad weather: Mayor of Leiria says the goal is for "the day to pass without human losses"
Severe weather from depressions Charles and Bruna has led to red warnings in eight districts. The government is advising telework where possible and states that parents who must stay home with their children will have their absence justified with no loss of income. In Lisbon, tunnels will be closed and circulation in riverside areas is discouraged, with expected gusts up to 120 km/h and wave heights of 4 to 5 meters.
Why it matters
If you are in affected areas, expect significant disruption to travel and services; if you are an employee, you can request telework, and if you are a parent, you are entitled to a justified absence from work without loss of pay due to the weather.Useful?
