Depression Ingrid has already triggered more than 700 recorded incidents across Portugal, prompting almost the entire mainland to be placed on level 3 special readiness until Saturday.

The high incident count underscores both the intensity of the system and the challenges of coordinating resources across multiple affected districts; continued vigilance is warranted as further snowfall and coastal deterioration are expected before conditions ease.
