A source from the Algarve District Emergency and Civil Protection Command told Lusa that the intense rain flooded several public roads in the city, without causing any personal damage.

According to the source, the affected areas are low points where a large concentration of water usually occurs when it rains heavily in a short space of time.

One of the flooded areas is a tunnel located under the railway line, on one of the city's main avenues.

“For now we have no record of road closures or more serious situations”, concluded the Civil Protection source.
