The weather on the Iberian Peninsula is being shaken by a powerful storm system bringing hurricane-force gusts of up to 70 mph to the Portuguese coast.

In some areas, the gusts may be even stronger as locally named Storm Charles moves through Portugal and Spain.

Charles initially affects Portugal, as the day progresses, Spain will also feel the full force of the storm. Conditions will become stormy in the afternoon and evening, particularly in Andalusia. Gale-force winds cannot be ruled out in the mountains there either.

On top of that, there will be plenty of rain. Widespread rainfall of up to 50 mm is expected by Thursday, with localised amounts of up to 100 mm, bringing a risk of flooding.
