According to information from the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) and the National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection (ANEPC), an increase in wind intensity from the south is expected, with gusts potentially reaching 80 km/h. Precipitation, in the form of rain or showers, may be temporarily heavy, accumulating up to 60mm in six hours, particularly from the morning of November 11th, with the possibility of thunderstorms. Sea agitation on the western coast will feature waves from the west/southwest of 4 to 5 meters.
Expected weather conditions include increased wind intensity, strong sea agitation along the entire coast of the municipality, risk of coastal flooding, falling unstable blocks on cliffs due to erosion, drainage difficulties caused by blockages in the rainwater system and watercourses, and slope instability leading to mass movements. Slippery and potentially obstructed road surfaces are also anticipated, with a risk of loose objects being dragged onto roadways and the detachment of mobile structures.
In light of these forecasts, the Municipal Civil Protection Service of Peniche recommends taking self-protection measures. Cleaning and unblocking drains, ditches, and other drainage channels is advised, considering the accumulation of litter, tree leaves, and debris that can obstruct drainage. It is also recommended to secure equipment, vehicles, and belongings from historically flood-prone areas, prevent damage to mounted or suspended structures, avoid accidents on the coastline, and prevent loose objects from being dragged onto roadways.
