“With some slowness [a superfície frontal] it will remain almost stationary, especially in the central region, which also ends up giving persistence to the rain that will occur. Persistence in general in the same places and with some intensity and this can generate slightly more complicated situations”he said.
At the end of the day on Friday, according to Patrícia Gomes, this rain will be “between Setúbal and Portalegre and ends up staying there for some time”.
“Then on November 1st [sábado] begins to cross the southern region. This does not mean that it does not rain in the northern and central regions. It will continue to rain, but it is not expected to be with the same intensity as on the 31st [sexta-feira]. It’s a somewhat dangerous situation.”he highlighted.
