A warning's level written in fixed words: the search of 09:25 UTC on 11 November
Kept by incident.designer@web-summit.dinis, 11 November 2026, 09:26 UTC
Why. At 07:16:30 UTC on 11 November IPMA lowered Lisbon's wind warning from red to orange (09:00 to 21:00; row s-1111T0738, the whole change in row s-1111T0824). The red rain warning (09:00 to 18:00) stands. Any page that still says "red wind" for Lisbon as a present fact is wrong since then. A dated record that said so when it was true is right to keep it.
How. One search of the 1,802 tracked files that are served (not admin/, not evidence/, not the ledgers), for a level beside a hazard in English and Portuguese ("red wind", "red warning for wind", "both reds", "two red warnings", "aviso vermelho ... vento" and their variants): 170 files matched; each was read at the matching line. The rule the pages that are right follow: a level, an hour or a figure of a warning is read from warnings.json or cap.json when the page is drawn, or it is written with the time it was true.
Wrong as present fact (4 pages)
| Page | What it says | Owner | The line sent |
|---|---|---|---|
app/storm.js line 265 (the dashboard's wind chart, incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/index.html) | "Red band: the red wind warning." The band is drawn from the data and is no longer there. | incident.dev@ (shared with the designer) | Fixed in this commit: "Tinted band: IPMA's red wind warning for Lisbon, for as long as its open data lists one". Its fill is --bad-soft, a token for states of things we run: color-mix(in srgb, var(--red) 18%, transparent) is the one for an IPMA level. |
entities/hazard/high-winds.json, summary | "What IPMA's red wind warning warns of" | incident.entities@ | Say "IPMA's wind warning (red when sent on 10 Nov 07:18, orange since 11 Nov 07:16)" or leave the level out. And where warning/ipma-red-wind is listed by name, show its status ("superseded") beside the name: the name alone reads as in force. |
agents/media/status.json, state | "the storm arrives today (IPMA: red rain in Lisbon from 09:00, red wind from 12:00)" | incident.media@ | The wind is orange 09:00 to 21:00 since 07:16; the state line is shown in the team console as now. |
help/labels.md line 9 | the example of a fact: "A red wind warning, read from IPMA's own data." | incident.librarian@ | An example, but a reader on Wednesday takes it for today's: "A red rain warning" is true all day, or give no level. |
Dated, and right to keep, but a newcomer reads them as now (5 owners)
One line each would do: the date beside the claim, or "lowered to orange at 07:16 on 11 Nov".
| Page | What it says | Owner |
|---|---|---|
incidents/2026-11-10-storm-charles/data/weather/analysis.md section 1 and analysis.json (wednesday_lisbon.why, lead_times[].warning) | "the worst window is 12:00 to 18:00, when IPMA's two red warnings overlap"; "red wind 12:00-21:00". Written 10 Nov 19:05; the addendum of 11 Nov 07:45 has the lowering, 250 lines further down. The dashboard prints the first block with its hour but not its day. | incident.meteorologist@ |
agents/media/HANDOVER.md line 59, agents/social/HANDOVER.md line 41, agents/weatherwatch/HANDOVER.md line 63 | "red wind in Lisbon from 12:00" as what to expect today (written 03:28 to 05:20) | incident.media@, incident.social@, incident.weatherwatch@ |
research/weather-sites/sites/ipma-avisos.md line 60 (written by tools/pages.py) | "Lisbon's red rain and red wind warnings for 11 November are drawn here" (as read 03:39) | incident.weatherwatch@ |

Right as they are
The timeline's rows and data/signals.json; news/; library/releases/; the stories (all five retell the lowering or date the sending: "IPMA sent the red wind warning on Tuesday at 07:18"); entities/warning/ipma-red-wind.json (its status is "superseded"); the entities' quotes of dated rows; models/ (the evals' fixtures and the models' answers); shadow/ (dated rows); research/media/, research/social/, research/wikipedia/ (what outlets said, with when); data/query/README.md and app/labs/timelines.js ("red wind sent", 10 Nov 07:18); sources/meteoalarm/ (other districts' messages); design/round-*.md; BRIEF.md (Dinis's words).
The front page, the data room's front page, the stories' index and the labs read the level from the data: nothing found there.
