Bad weather on Saturday was caused by a rare phenomenon in Portugal

The bad weather that caused dozens of homeless and down hundreds of trees, on Saturday, was a rare phenomenon winter, which caused winds of 140 km / h and raised the sea level.

Speaking to Lusa, Nuno Reira, the Portuguese Institute for Ocean and Atmosphere (IPMA), said to have been treated in a depression dug far and too fast, the incidence of which is unusual in Portugal.

"What happened in the early hours of Friday to Saturday was the passage of a depression dug by the very north of the mainland territory," he said, adding that "this depression the dug very quickly" in a process that meteorologists technically designated as "cyclogenesis explosive. "

The pressure at the center of the meteorological phenomenon, which "came along the coast of Viana do Castelo and Porto," reached "very low levels", causing very strong winds.

"The gusts reached 140 km / h at Cape Carvoeiro," said Nuno Moreira, stressing that this is still a preliminary data and remembering that when forecasts call for winds over 130 km / h, the IPMA triggers a warning Extreme risk.

The rapid fall in pressure also causes a rise in mean sea level, the weatherman said, adding that this may have led to coastal flooding.

"This kind of phenomenon is not very usual, is a winter phenomenon. Has happened in Portugal before," said the weatherman, noting, for example, a situation that has affected the area from the west on December 23, 2009.

In the coming days, bad weather should return, although with slightly different characteristics. "While the past situation was much dug a depression that passed over the mainland territory, the situation of bad weather for this upcoming night and tomorrow [Tuesday] is the passage of a frontal system of strong activity," he said.

A new depression, he explained, will produce rain, but mainly to falling snow at low altitudes and also the wind with some intensity, reaching 100 km / h in the highlands.

I saw you were getting a battering, Pedro. We are too, if it's any consolation, and this one is coming from the North East.

Glad you are unscathed.
