Facts: IPMA has published nothing in writing about two centres (no communiqué after no. 2, which speaks of one; its CAP texts do not describe the low). Madeira airport's pressure was lowest at 991 hPa at 06:30…

11 Nov, 08:51 UTCevidencethe press on the morning ahead (CNN Portugal's live blog): intense rain may coincide with high tide and hinder drainage in the big cities (entry 08:27); civil protection counted 60 incidents by 06:00, Greater Lisbon the most affected with 26 (entry 08:26; the count for 03:30 reported earlier was 66,…
11 Nov, 08:44 UTCfactIPMA's open-data feed now agrees with its 07:16:30 message: Lisbon's wind warning is orange, 09:00 to 21:00, "Rajadas até 120 km/h."; the red wind entry is gone (it was still listed at 08:22).

Madeira: the wind fell from south-west 69 km/h gusting 89 km/h (07:00) to north-east 13 km/h, with pressure at 995 hPa; analysis (incident.meteorologist@, hypothesis): the storm's centre passed close to Madeira airport between about 07:30 and 08:00. Lisbon: south-s…
11 Nov, 07:38 UTCfactIPMA lowered Lisbon's wind warning from red to orange, and starts it three hours earlier: orange wind, Wednesday 09:00 to 21:00, "Rajadas até 120 km/h" (was red, 12:00 to 21:00, with gusts that could reach 140 km/h in the most exposed places).

11 Nov, 06:54 UTCevidencethe morning as one live blog has it (CNN Portugal): overnight, 66 incidents on the mainland with four floods in Greater Lisbon and the Setúbal peninsula (entry 05:44); the Porto Brandão-Trafaria-Pedrouços/Algés ferry is suspended on Wednesday while the Lisbon-South Bank ferries run in the morning (e…

Lusa's article (published 06:28, read 06:37 by inc…
11 Nov, 06:25 UTCfactMadeira's red warnings ended at 06:00, as IPMA had scheduled: its warnings page now shows orange as the highest level for Madeira's north coast, mountain regions and south coast (red at the 05:23 read); in its open data the red rain (all three areas, from 21:00 Tuesday) and the mountains' red wind c…
11 Nov, 05:22 UTCfactLisbon airport's forecast issued at 05:00 lengthens the strong wind by two hours: at times 30 kt gusting 45 (83 km/h) from 09:00 to 18:00 (the 23:00 forecast had it to 16:00); the 30% chance of thunderstorm gusts of 58 kt (107 km/h) stays 10:00 to 18:00; west 12 kt from 18:00 to 20:00.

11 Nov, 03:28 UTCevidenceRTP's 03:00 radio bulletin is titled "IPMA: depressão Charles vai atingir mais o sul do país" (the title only; the bulletin was not listened to).

11 Nov, 02:38 UTCfactMadeira airport, observed at 02:30: wind 67 km/h gusting 98 km/h (METAR LPMA 110230Z 22036G53KT 3000 RA), the highest gust in the last 30 hours of its reports (01:00: 59 gusting 78 km/h). A point observation on the south-east coast, not a warning area; IPMA's stations report mean wind only
11 Nov, 02:29 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.meteorologist@, hypothesis, re-weighed; supersedes the 00:00 reading): which side of Lisbon the centre passes is unsettled: "just south of Lisbon" drops to low confidence (was medium), because met.no's 01:19 run veers the wind through south to west with its strongest mean wind (56…
11 Nov, 01:46 UTCfactMadeira, observed: 230.5 mm of rain in six hours at IPMA's station Areeiro (the hours 20:00 Tuesday to 01:00 Wednesday; 133.9 mm in the six hours to 22:00); next: Santo da Serra 124.4, Pico do Areeiro 123.9, Pico Alto 116.7 mm in six hours

Limits: matched by title only; SIC, JN, TSF and Renascença refuse automated reads. Who was first on the other facts: red …
11 Nov, 00:00 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.meteorologist@, hypothesis, confidence low to medium): the official and model data are consistent with the centre passing very close to Lisbon at about 17:00 to 18:00 Wednesday, more likely just south of it (met.no's pressure minimum 986.7 hPa at 17:00 to 18:00 and a 160° wind swi…
10 Nov, 23:54 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.meteorologist@, labelled): worst window now 09:00 to 18:00, the core 12:00 to 18:00 when both reds overlap; over by 21:00. From IPMA's own issue times (CAP): red wind was sent Tue 07:18 (not 08:31 as the press had it): 28.7 h ahead; red rain 19.5 h; the move to 09:00, 11.6 h
10 Nov, 23:53 UTCfact, decisionIPMA moved Lisbon's red rain warning three hours earlier: Wednesday 09:00 to 18:00 (was 12:00 to 18:00; supersedes s-1110T1742); orange rain now 00:00 to 09:00; red wind unchanged (12:00 to 21:00). IPMA sent the change at 21:23 (its CAP message); its open-data feed showed it only from the 23:51 read
10 Nov, 23:50 UTCevidence(unofficial, unverified) a public weather page on Facebook shows the storm's track further south than first forecast, toward Lisbon and just south of it; the image is undated and the page is not IPMA. To compare with IPMA's next communiqué; IPMA's own text keeps "entre Sines e o Cabo Carvoeiro" with…
10 Nov, 23:24 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.meteorologist@, labelled): the TAF's peak (09:00 to 16:00) and IPMA's model peak (19:00 to 20:00) disagree, so the peak is widened back to 12:00 to 18:00; end 21:00; Thursday morning behind the storm, medium confidence; a weaker airport forecast is not a downgrade of IPMA's warnin…
10 Nov, 23:23 UTCfactThe first airport TAF covering Thursday (issued 23:00) is weaker than 17:00's: Wed 09:00 to 16:00 at times 30 kt gusting 45 (83 km/h); 30% chance (was 40%) of 58 kt thunderstorm gusts 10:00 to 18:00; west 12 kt from 18:00 to 20:00; Thursday 00:00 to 06:00 west 12 kt, no gusts.

10 Nov, 22:20 UTCevidenceIPMA's move of Lisbon's red rain to 09:00 (sent 21:23) was relayed in public by VOST Portugal, a volunteers' association, 57 minutes after IPMA sent it; no press title we read had it by 00:15 (row s-1111T0015 stands for the press)
10 Nov, 21:18 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.meteorologist@, labelled): IPMA's hourly model changed its values (same 07:55 stamp): Wednesday's strongest mean wind now 23 km/h at 20:00 (was 49 at 18:00); the swing to north 18:00; peak most likely 17:00 to 20:00 (was 15:00 to 19:00); worst window 12:00 to 18:00 and end 21:00 u…
