Faro Municipality says high tide is expected to peak tomorrow at 3:41 pm, meaning the risk could be heightened around this time.

The municipality warns that the peak of the storm could coincide with high tide at around 3:41 pm on 11 November, potentially increasing the risk of storm impacts in coastal areas due to possible overtopping caused by rough seas.

Faro Municipality also warns of the risk of large debris being swept through streets, posing a danger to property as well as to people and animals moving through the area.

In Olhão, residents have been advised not to park in areas with a history of flooding, such as the Olhão tunnel, Cavalinha School, Bela-Mandil and the Afandanga area in Fuseta.

Parking in riverside areas and near exposed beaches should also be avoided.

In general, following Government recommendations, businesses have been advised to suspend their services whenever possible and resort to remote working if this is an option.

Schools across the country have been closed to prevent any major tragedy. At present, southern Portugal is expected to be the area most affected by Storm Charles on 11 November, with residents advised to follow official information from the relevant authorities.
