Bad weather returns to mainland Portugal starting Friday, with forecasts of rain and thunderstorms

Portugal continental will experience a weather change starting Friday, November 6, with rain and thunderstorms expected. The Portuguese Institute of Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) forecasts cloudy skies and showers, particularly in the North and Central regions. This shift is due to a depression forming near the Azores, bringing moist air to the mainland. Rain is anticipated to spread gradually, with possible thunderstorms in the North and Central coasts. On Saturday, showers will continue, especially in the North and Central areas, with a slight temperature increase. By Sunday, rain will extend across the territory, accompanied by strong winds. Madeira will also see persistent rainfall, prompting a yellow warning for the region.
