Meteorologists cannot determine the direction of the Charles depression

Meteorologists are struggling to predict the path of depression Charles due to its constant trajectory changes. Currently, it is moving south across mainland Portugal, but thick cloud cover is obstructing satellite visibility of its center. This situation has heightened risks, particularly in the southern regions, with eight districts under a red warning for strong winds. The country has been on high alert since midnight, with Civil Protection at maximum readiness. Rainfall, at times heavy, is expected to continue and intensify as the depression passes.
