Depressão <em>Charles</em>: circulação em auto-estradas da Brisa caiu para menos de metade

On November 11, Portugal experienced significant reductions in both highway traffic and banking transactions due to the impact of Storm Charles. Highway circulation dropped by over 50% compared to the same day last year and the previous Wednesday. The government implemented teleworking measures and closed schools and non-essential services, further limiting travel. The Brisa highway operator reported these declines, which are used by the Bank of Portugal to assess economic activity. Additionally, banking transactions fell by 40%, and more than half of flights at Lisbon airport were canceled.
