According to the IPMA, which bases its analysis on a preliminary analysis of available data, November "was very wet," with total precipitation being "much higher than normal," corresponding to "about 180% of the average value" in the reference period of 1991-2020.
Fifteen new extremes of the highest precipitation value for November were recorded, five of which correspond to absolute extremes (verified at the meteorological stations of Coimbra/Bencanta, Barreiro/Lavradio, Figueira da Foz, Leiria and Alcobaça).
The Portuguese Institute for the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) highlights Storm Claudia, characterised by heavy and prolonged rain, hail, frequent and intense thunderstorms, and strong winds, which caused three deaths, several injuries, and displaced persons, as well as the Albufeira tornado, where "the value of the associated instantaneous maximum wind" was estimated at 220 kilometres per hour.
