Speaking to the Lusa agency, a source said that, between
10:00 and 12:00, "there was a peak of occurrences, 34, currently the only
critical area being the tunnel on Avenida João XXI, which is closed to
traffic".
"Floods were recorded all over the city, especially in
the riverside area of Pedrouços, the North-South axis near Avenida de Ceuta and
Estrada de Chelas", said the official.
The district of Lisbon was under a yellow warning from the
Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA), between 10:00 am and
11:00 am today due to the forecast of precipitation, sometimes heavy,
occasionally accompanied by thunderstorms.
The IPMA later extended this warning until 12:00.
