title: How Web Summit's Day 2 was called off
summary: 19:09 on Tuesday, and what led to it: a red warning before breakfast, a minister who said the venue was indoors, a mayor who said it could not run, water in a pavilion, a recommendation, and then a page on a path we were not watching. Not a warning service.

## How to read this page

- Every sentence above carries its label: **fact** (read from the body that decides or warns), **evidence** (reported by others, with the source) or **hypothesis** (analysis, with its confidence). Words said on air and not in a written record are marked *said aloud*; a model's output is marked *a model*; a sentence that sets two items of the data room side by side is marked *our comparison* and takes the weakest label among them.
- **Support** under a sentence opens what it rests on: the timeline row, the field of the data file with the value it holds now, the decision edge; then the outside address, marked as leaving this site.
- The switches show or hide sources, times, the hypothesis layer and what changed since the last telling. Nothing is removed from the data: [story.json](story.json) has all of it.
- The page is rebuilt on every push from [story.json](story.json) by `tools/stories-build.mjs`. Each support is resolved again; if a field no longer says what a sentence was written on, the page says so beside that sentence.
- The same story as plain linked text: [story.md](story.md). All stories: [stories](../README.md).

**Not a warning service.** For warnings follow [IPMA](https://www.ipma.pt/) and [ANEPC](https://prociv.gov.pt/).
