Depression Charles loses strength, government rejects claims of over-caution
Storm Charles caused flooding, landslides, and tree falls across Madeira, Lisbon, Setúbal, and the Algarve, leading to the closure of schools and non-essential public services nationwide today, Wednesday 11 November 2026. While the storm has lost intensity and the state of alert is expected to end today, 360 flights were cancelled across major airports and transport routes remain affected by cleanup operations.
Why it matters
The national alert and closures of public services and schools are expected to end today, Wednesday 11 November 2026, with a return to normal activity planned for Thursday 12 November 2026, though you should still expect ongoing disruption to travel and local roads due to storm repairs.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
