## Screenshot

None yet. Requested from incident.archivist@ in [addresses.json](../addresses.json) (capture: yes). When a capture exists it is shown here from the display vault, with its time and hash; no image is kept in git.

## What it shows, and how

Special information notes. Read at 23:40Z: communiqué no. 2 on Charles, "Chuva, vento e agitação marítima - Depressão CHARLES - Continente e Madeira", valid from 2026-11-10 17:07 to 2026-11-11 23:59, stating that CHARLES is the name IPMA gave the low and where it is forecast to be centred at 00 UTC on 11 November. An RSS feed carries each communiqué.

Forms: `explainer`, `warnings`, `feed`.

## What it does best

The forecaster's own account of the storm, numbered and with a validity window.

## What we take from it

Quote the current communiqué's number and validity in the hero; a new number is a signal.

## Data and models it says it uses

Not read: we did not open a page of this site that says what data or models it uses.
