Due to severe weather, schools are closed nationwide on Wednesday 11 November 2026. In Lisbon, tunnels are closed from midnight, and fenced gardens are shut; Pingo Doce has closed all stores on the mainland for the day, while speed on the Vasco da Gama and 25 de Abril bridges is limited to 60 km/h with high-profile vehicles advised against crossing.

Why it matters

If you are a parent, children are not in school today, 11 November 2026; if you drive, expect speed limits and potential closures in Lisbon, and check if your local supermarket is open as Pingo Doce stores are closed nationwide.
