Otunnels, parks and gardens and cultural equipment will be closed in Lisbon from midnight due to bad weather forecasts, announced today the mayor of Lisbon (CML).
After a meeting with the Municipal Civil Protection in the Paços do Concelho, Carlos Coins highlighted that the circulation in the riverside areas “should be avoided and will be limited”.
“ We know that these decisions have an impact on people's lives. We know they force families to reorganize their day. But in the face of the risk, we have to act prudently”, he added.
Coins also highlighted that the Websummit technological summit may be cancelled, but the decision is up to the Ministry of Internal Administration.
According to the mayor, last night Civil Protection registered 304 occurrences in the city related to bad weather.
Carlos Coins also highlighted that these decisions will be reassessed within 24 hours.
Among the closed cultural equipment, he quoted “in particular the Castle of São Jorge, the Pattern of Discoveries, the Roman Theatre and the Fado Museum”.
