Storm Charles, with winds up to 160kph, has caused widespread disruption in Portugal, leading to the cancellation of the Web Summit's Wednesday programme and the closure of schools and non-essential public services. Heavy rain, rough seas, and strong winds have hit Costa da Caparica, with coastal facilities closed and streets left waterlogged. The storm is expected to bring significant rainfall and dangerous sea conditions, with waves potentially reaching up to 13 metres along the Lisbon and Setúbal coastlines. Authorities have urged residents to stay away from beaches and exposed coastal areas due to the risk of flooding and dangerous sea conditions.
