The orange warning for rain and storms was extended until the end of the day on Friday in the districts of Braga, Bragança, Viseu, Porto, Guarda and Vila Real, reported the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA).
According to IPMA, the orange warning, the second most serious, will be active until 9:00 p.m. this Friday in these five districts.
The districts of Viana do Castelo, Leiria, Portalegre and Castelo Branco (until 9 p.m.), Évora, Beja and Faro (until 6 p.m.) and Setúbal, Santarém and Lisbon (until 9 a.m.) are also under yellow warning for rain and storms.
According to forecasts, the worsening of weather conditions will continue until Sunday, due to the action of a depression centred west of the Iberian Peninsula and which will move northeast from Saturday, thus causing a progressive improvement in the weather.
For Saturday, technicians already expect a significant worsening of the weather, with precipitation still present, especially in the northern and central regions, but with less intensity than in previous days, with no precipitation expected from Sunday.
Temperatures are also expected to drop until Saturday, with a gradual recovery from Sunday, following the improvement in the weather.
For today, the IPMA forecasts showers, which will be locally strong, with hail and accompanied by thunderstorms, as well as a drop in maximum temperatures.
