Storm Karlotta depression, which will not directly affect Portugal, according to the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA), but will bring rain and strong winds to the entire country.
In several districts of the country, strong gusts of wind are already being felt, which could reach 100 km/h in the highlands and 85 km/h on the coast, especially in the North.
In addition to heavy rain and strong winds, the IPMA also predicts "an increase in sea agitation, with waves from the southwest measuring 4 to 5 metres in height."
The weather in the Madeira archipelago "will also be affected by the aforementioned cold front on the 8th". Therefore, "rain is expected, sometimes heavy, and southwest wind, moderate to strong, with gusts of up to 80 km/h, with up to 100 km/h in the highlands".
It looks like Portugal is being wiped off the map. Isn't the weather a bit exaggerated?
