With all the talk about Storm Charles in recent days, we’ve forgotten that Bruna is still lurking over the Atlantic. It’s been slowly degrading in the past few days and now it’s located northwest of continental Portugal. This will bring scattered rain showers across the country through tomorrow, with heavy downpours and thunderstorms more likely in the north. After Bruna’s remnants dissipate after tomorrow, the Azores Anticyclone remains weak and flattened — this keeps the forecast unsettled with rounds of rain likely through next week (see graphic #2 valid through November 19). After recent hysteria with Storm Charles, you may have already seen headlines talking about a “train of storms” on the way… but please be assured, nothing threatening is approaching Portugal in the near future. If anything significant arises, I’ll be providing updates as needed.
