Yellow warnings issued for rain and thunderstorms
The Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera or IPMA) has issued a yellow warning for eight districts in the north and centre of the country. The alert for Bragança, Viseu, Porto, Guarda, Vila Real, Viana do Castelo, Aveiro, and Braga is effective from midnight Saturday until midnight Sunday.
A red warning is the highest alert level issued by Portugal's weather agency, the Portuguese Institute for the Sea and the Atmosphere (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera or IPMA), used when conditions pose a very high risk to life and property. Under a red warning authorities may close roads, suspend transport and advise people to avoid coastal and flood‑prone areas, so follow civil protection instructions during the Friday–Saturday storm period.
