11 Nov, 09:03 UTCfactIPMA's red rain warning for Lisbon is in force: 09:00 to 18:00, "Precipitação forte e persistente"; the orange wind warning is in force too, 09:00 to 21:00, gusts up to 120 km/h; the orange sea warning follows from 12:00.

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). The feed followed the message by between 66 and 88 minutes. Red rain 09:00 to 18:00 stands; the orange rain…

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, 07:27 UTCfactMadeira, observed: 249.5 mm of rain in six hours at IPMA's station Areeiro, its largest six consecutive hourly values so far (was 232.1 mm at the 04:23 read); this is the measurement behind the "more than 240 mm in six hours" an IPMA meteorologist gave Lusa (s-1111T0642).

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. Observed at 0…

Hypotheses that day (our analysis, never fact)

When (UTC)LabelWhat the row says
11 Nov, 11:28 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.meteorologist@, hypothesis, low confidence): the wind backing from south-south-east to east-south-east while the pressure falls hints that the centre may pass south of Lisbon, against the reading of 09:22 (just north); the pressure minimum and the wind's turn between 13:00 and 16:…
11 Nov, 09:41 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.meteorologist@, hypothesis) on the press's "two centres" (s-1111T0939). 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, 09:22 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.meteorologist@, hypothesis; supersedes the reading of 02:29): IPMA's new hourly model run (07:56) now shows the same pattern as MET Norway's: wind from the east around midday, a lull of about 11 km/h at 13:00, then south 40 km/h at 14:00 and south-west 35 km/h at 15:00, turning we…
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, 00:15 UTChypothesisanalysis (incident.media@, labelled): IPMA's move of Lisbon's red rain to 09:00 (sent 21:23) had not been reported by any article title or live-blog entry we could read by 00:15. 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…
