Images show car submerged due to flooding on the Segunda Circular in Lisbon

Heavy rainfall on the morning of Tuesday 10 November 2026 has caused flooding on the Segunda Circular, near the entrance to Benfica. Only the left lane is currently open to traffic, and the Lisbon Fire Department (Sapadores) responded to 130 incidents across the city due to the weather.

Why it matters

If you are driving in Lisbon this morning, expect significant delays on the Segunda Circular and other major roads due to flooding; avoid unnecessary travel until the situation eases.
