Algarve was critical, but Charles passed along the coast

The Charles depression split into two parts, affecting Lisbon and the Algarve differently. The weaker part moved towards Lisbon, while the stronger core impacted the Algarve with less severity than expected. The Civil Protection warned about potential risks in the Alentejo and Algarve regions. Despite initial concerns, the storm caused no casualties, with only minor incidents reported, such as flooding in Armação de Pêra. The weather conditions led to numerous occurrences in Faro, including fallen trees and road blockages. By late afternoon, the storm had passed, and the situation improved, with some areas experiencing less rain and wind than anticipated.
