Storm Charles could affect southeastern France after passing through Portugal and Spain. La Chaîne Météo warned of possible strong winds and heavy rain from Thursday, from Languedoc to Provence and especially near the Cévennes. At the time of the report, Météo-France had yet to issue a specific warning for the end of the week. In Portugal, schools and non-essential public services were scheduled to close on Wednesday in response to wind warnings, with gusts potentially reaching 140 km/h. Several regions were placed under red warnings effective late Wednesday morning. Authorities fear urban flooding, tree and structure collapses, as well as disruptions to electricity and telecommunications. Meteorological conditions in Portugal remain highly unstable; between January 22 and February 15, the country was struck by seven successive storms, accompanied by winds up to 130 km/h, torrential rain, floods, and landslides.
