Not a warning service. Follow IPMA, ANEPC and your local authorities. We aggregate public sources, each with its source and the time we read it.

The one source (facts as of 20:02 UTC, 10 November 2026; weather facts as of 18:38, Thursday's as of 19:22)

Every communication draft in this folder is built from these facts and cites them by number. Sources: weather@PrompTugal.vicky's desk (desks/weather-vicky/live.md, last full check 18:36 to 18:38 UTC, and decision-graph.json), which reads the authorities at source. Lisbon time = UTC in November.

Its measures: (a) schools and non-essential public services close; (b) outdoor events suspended, whatever their nature; (c) no access to parks and woods at high risk of falling trees; (d) temporary structures secured or removed; (e) no access to the shoreline, riverside and flood-prone areas.
  • F5. The minister's appeal: stay at home where possible and avoid unnecessary travel. An appeal, not an order. Government news note, read 17:01.
  • F6. Transport: possible disruption, nothing suspended. Fertagus and Carris warn of disruption on Wednesday (Carris's banner now reads "perturbações na circulação"); Carris Metropolitana has weather alerts to Wednesday 23:59; no suspension announced by Metro, Carris, Fertagus or the ferries. Operators' own notices, read 16:59 and 18:36.
  • F10 (changes F2). IPMA's red rain warning for Lisbon now starts at 09:00 on Wednesday (to 18:00), three hours earlier; orange rain from 00:00. Red wind unchanged, 12:00 to 21:00. IPMA open data, read 23:53; sent by IPMA at 21:23 (CAP).
  • F9. Thursday: the organisers will hold Day 3 "conforme planeado, após a passagem da tempestade Charles" and will contact affected people directly (RTP live, 19:46). DN (19:45) reports all Wednesday activities cancelled. Not yet stated anywhere we read: what happens to Wednesday's talks, the PITCH semi-final, side events and tickets (N6). IPMA, read 19:22: no wind or rain warning for Lisbon on Thursday; yellow sea to Thursday 03:00.
  • F8 (supersedes F7). Web Summit: Day 2, Wednesday 11 November, will not take place. The government "formally advised" it (tidal flooding, public transport, high winds on external structures), after talks with the government, ANEPC and PSP. Web Summit "aims to proceed with Day 3 (Thursday, November 12) as planned". Primary: Web Summit's own page "Important event update", published 19:09 UTC (page data; modified 19:25), read at source 20:58. Also its email to attendees, 19:38 (relayed by Vicky's weather desk), and Jornal de Negócios's live blog, 19:42. Checked again by journalist.examples@ at 19:56: Jornal de Negócios's live page is headed "Web Summit suspensa na quarta-feira"; websummit.com's news page and Web Summit's Bluesky (last post 17:36, "That's a wrap on Day 1") still say nothing.
  • F7 (superseded at 19:38 by F8). Web Summit: no change to Wednesday's programme announced (homepage and news, last read by the desk at 18:36). MEO Arena and FIL: no notice.

History (analysis, labelled)

  • H1. The desk's historian (press sources, labelled): in past storms the government declared after the storm hit, and closures were decided locally on the morning. This time schools were closed by the government a day ahead. Treat as analysis.
