The northernmost districts of Viseu, Porto, Guarda, Vila Real, Viana do Castelo, Leiria, Castelo Branco, Aveiro, Coimbra and Braga have been under a yellow warning from 06:00 am today and will run until 06:00 am on Saturday due to the forecast of sometimes heavy showers, which may occasionally be in the form of hail and accompanied by thunderstorms.

The IPMA also placed the districts of Porto, Faro, Setúbal, Viana do Castelo, Lisbon, Leiria, Beja, Aveiro, Coimbra and Braga under yellow warning until 12:00 pm on Saturday due to southwest winds with gusts of up to 80 kilometers per hour (km/h),

The forecast of rough seas led the IPMA to issue an orange warning for the districts of Porto, Viana do Castelo, Lisbon, Leiria, Aveiro, Coimbra and Braga between 00:00 on Saturday and 00:00 on Sunday, then changing to yellow.

The IPMA has also placed the districts of Faro, Setúbal and Beja on lockdown until 6:00 am on Sunday due to rough seas.

Due to strong sea agitation, 17 maritime bars on the mainland are closed to all navigation and those in Aveiro, Figueira da Foz, Viana do Castelo and Portimão are subject to restrictions, according to the National Maritime Authority.

The districts of Castelo Branco and Guarda are also under orange warning due to snowfall above 1,200 to 1,400 meters between 6:00 pm today and 12:00 pm on Saturday.

The orange warning is issued by IPMA whenever there is a moderate to high risk meteorological situation and the yellow warning when there is a risk situation for certain activities dependent on the meteorological situation.

The passage of depression Martinho, with strong rain, wind and sea agitation, caused thousands of incidents on the Portuguese mainland, mostly falling trees and structures, especially in the early hours of Thursday, when orange weather warnings were in effect.

Roads, ports, railway lines, public spaces, housing, sports facilities, vehicles and energy and water services were affected, particularly in the regions of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo, Centro and Sul.
