Prime Minister warns of "difficult hours" and asks the Portuguese not to underestimate the bad weather
The Prime Minister and the Minister of Internal Administration have warned of severe weather conditions due to the depressions Charles and Bruna, which have triggered red warnings from the IPMA for eight districts. The government recommends telework where possible, and parents required to stay home with children due to the weather will have their absence justified without loss of income. In Lisbon, tunnels will be closed and travel in riverside areas is discouraged.
Why it matters
If you are in the affected areas, expect significant disruption to travel and services; if you are employed, you may be eligible for telework or justified leave if you need to care for children during this severe weather period.Useful?
