Persistent rain will continue to hit the continent over the next few days, especially in the North and Center, areas where there is already an excess accumulation of water due to bad weather, meteorologist Alexandra Fonseca told Lusa.
Depression Marta has already left Portuguese territory and moved east, but the continent’s territory continues to be influenced by other depressions that are forming further north in the Atlantic and will also be crossed by frontal swells that are associated with these depressions, explained the meteorologist from the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA).
