After Charles, what winter awaits us?

Meteorologists predict a warm and rainy winter for Portugal, but uncertainty remains regarding the intensity and frequency of storms. Factors like a strong El Niño and changes in atmospheric circulation could influence weather patterns. While projections indicate above-average precipitation, experts caution against relying too heavily on seasonal forecasts due to past inaccuracies. The warming ocean and atmosphere are expected to lead to more intense rainfall events, although total annual precipitation may decrease. The potential for successive storms depends on various atmospheric conditions, making precise predictions challenging.
