Mainland Portugal is being affected by the effects of Depression Kristin, with rain, wind, snow and sea disturbances, with several warnings having been issued by IPMA.
The fall of a tree on the Fertagus railway line, which connects Lisbon and Setúbal via the 25 de Abril bridge, this Wednesday forced the use of a “single lane, between Palmela and Pinhal Novo”, causing “traffic delays”.
O appears on the website of the company that holds the concession for passenger rail transport on the so-called north-south axis, with 14 stations, between Roma-Areeiro (Lisbon) and Setúbal.
Ten of the stations are located on the south bank of the Tagus (Setúbal, Palmela, Venda do Alcaide, Pinhal Novo, Penalva, Coina, Fogueteiro, Foros de Amora, Corroios and Pragal) and four on the north bank (Campolide, Sete Rios, Entrecampos and Roma-Areeiro).
Mainland Portugal is being affected by the effects of the passage of Depression Kristin, with rain, wind, snow and sea disturbances, with several warnings having been issued by the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA).
Civil Protection is in the maximum, along the entire coastline between Viana do Castelo and Setúbal, to face the meteorological depression that is crossing Portugal this morning.
The district of Coimbra, as far as Aveiro, to the north, and Leiria, to the south, is the area most at risk for the Kristin depression, which follows the Joseph depression and which the IPMA classified as “explosive cyclogenesis”, a term used for depressions of strong intensity, both in wind and rain.
