Country to be tested. Government declares alert for Wednesday and closes schools
The government has declared a state of alert for Wednesday 11 November 2026 due to the arrival of depression Charles, which follows depression Bruna. The weather institute (IPMA) has placed eight districts under red warning, and schools will be closed as a preventative measure.
Why it matters
If you are in one of the affected red-warning districts, expect extreme weather with wind gusts up to 120 km/h, intense rain, and dangerous sea conditions; ensure you check local school closures and avoid unnecessary travel on Wednesday 11 November 2026.Useful?
