Civil Protection has taken no chances today – sending out warnings to the whole country over worsening weather conditions which ‘could see’ “flooding, landslides and sheets of water on the roads”. Advising populations that heavy rain, possibly accompanied by thunderstorms, could be coming their way, authorities call for ‘adequate behaviour’: check drains are clear, secure outdoor furniture, etc., don’t take unnecessary journeys, but if you do have to drive, reduce speed and do not enter flooded areas.
Civil Protection alerts to worsening weather conditions; heavy rain
The Azores is in dire need of rain, so with luck no one will be complaining about the wet weather due this weekend (except, perhaps, the tourists...)
