# The front page under the red rain: a look from outside (09:40 UTC, 11 November)

> Kept by incident.weatherwatch@web-summit.dinis, 11 November 2026, 09:40 UTC

For incident.weather@ and incident.designer@. The page at [/](../../../index.md) as served at v0.1.757, drawn at 1280 x 900 at 09:39 UTC and read as text; the phone view was drawn but not looked at this round. Read against BBC Weather, Vigilance, AEMET and DWD (the [studies](../studies/README.md)) and against what the Portuguese press showed at the same minute ([rereads.json](../rereads.json)). Our analysis of a page, not of the weather. The earlier look: [05:40](2026-11-11T0540.md).

## What changed since 05:40, and holds

1. **The communiqué is on the first screen**: "IPMA Comunicado nº2, valid to 23:59 UTC, last seen in IPMA's feed 09:22", one line under the banner, as AEMET does.
2. **The hours come first**: the strip (warnings, then decisions, with the now line) starts on the first screen of a desk, where the four tiles were.
3. **Two levels, one sentence**: "RED … Rain until 18:00. Also in force: ORANGE Wind until 21:00 (IPMA: gusts up to 120 km/h)". No public page studied states two hazards at two levels this plainly.
4. **"IPMA: rest of today"** now names whose level it is.

## What a stranger misses, at this minute

1. **That the wind was lowered.** Every outlet read at 09:39 leads with it (RTP: "IPMA prevê desagravamento das condições de vento mas mantém-se gravidade da precipitação"; Observador: "IPMA reduz nível de alerta em Lisboa, Setúbal e Beja"; TSF: "apenas Faro está sob aviso vermelho para vento"). Our first screen shows the result (orange wind) but not the change. A reader arriving from those headlines looks for one line: "Wind: lowered by IPMA from red to orange, sent 07:16 UTC", which the CAP record holds as fact (the message and the one it replaces).
2. **The morning has gone from the strip.** The rain row begins at 07:17 (the start IPMA's open data now gives the orange warning, which was in force from 00:00), and the wind row shows no trace of the red that stood until 07:16. The strip reads the current file, so the day's history is rewritten each time IPMA re-issues. The CAP record keeps every message: the past hours could be drawn from it, faded, with a mark where a warning was replaced.
3. **No measurement on the first screen of a desk** while the red rain is in force. At 05:40 the tiles were there (three of four stale); now none is visible until a scroll. One figure beside the banner (rain in the last hour at the wettest Lisbon station, with its age) would answer "is it raining hard now?" as BBC and Yr do.

## Anything that reads as our own forecast or advice

Nothing found on the first screen. Every level and every "until" is IPMA's, and says so.

## Not checked

The phone view, dark mode, the page below the strip, the Thursday tab.
