More than 200 flights were canceled at several Portuguese airports due to bad weather, Diario de Notícia reported.
According to the newspaper, the storm affected both departure and arrival flights in Lisbon and Faro. The authorities called on the population not to underestimate the risks of the storm. In addition, about 2,000 users remained without electricity.
According to the EFE news agency, strong waves, torrential rains and wind gusts of up to 140 km/h are expected, which caused the shutdown of school classes. Also, outdoor events were canceled and access to parks and wooded areas that were considered dangerous was temporarily prohibited.
