Latest news and stories about coastal storm in Portugal for expats and residents.
Large waves, strong winds and an overcast sky mark the passage of storms along the coast, leaving signs of a particularly turbulent sea.
Along the coast in Leiria, the scene is also described as being like a “war”, say the owners of homes that were damaged by the passage of Storm Kristin.
Nuno Lopes, from the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA), warns of the passage of Depression Kristin, associated with “explosive cyclogenesis”, with gusts that may exceed forecasts, particularly along the north and central coast. In addition to strong winds, periods of heavy rain, rough seas and snowfall are expected, and several weather warnings have been issued.
The country's central and northern coasts will be hit in the early hours tomorrow by a depression with potentially destructive power. In addition, E-Redes reports that the severe weather left 10,000 people without electricity.
