00:01Storm Charles seems, after all, to have fallen short of the catastrophic scenario once feared
00:06and has split into two separate cores, one expected to hit the Algarve and the other the Lisbon region
00:12where it should arrive during the afternoon.
00:15Lisbon, Setubal and Beja are no longer under a wind warning
00:18but are now on maximum alert due to the rain which hasn't let up.
00:25The wind warning has been downgraded from red to orange with gusts forecast to reach up to 120 km per
00:33hour.
00:34In Madeira, the worst of Storm Charles appears to have already passed
00:39but the authorities are still urging caution on the roads, especially near streams and other watercourses.
00:48The roads into Funchal, which had been closed as a precaution, have now reopened.
00:53The public is advised to avoid high-risk areas and to stay alert to safety recommendations.
