Storm Oscar has hit the coast of Portugal! Airports are closed due to wind in Madeira

Natural disaster 8 June 2023. Storm Oscar has hit the coast of Portugal! The wind uproots the trees in Madeira Storm Oscar has caused a considerable degree of havoc in Madeira and Azores, but no injuries to people. The depression that is on its way to the mainland (albeit unlikely to cause similar damages) has seen planes cancelled, localised flooding and fallen trees. An orange warning remains in place in certain areas – and one house in Madeira suffered a partially collapsed roof due to heavy rain, leading to the occupant requiring temporary evacuation. The largest number of occurrences were registered in Funchal, Santa Cruz and Machico said a recent update from the regional authority, which has warned that the storm will have an impact on rubbish collection services. Oscar is due to arrive on the Portuguese mainland (at the same time it is due to batter the Canaries), at which point the recent elevated temperatures will fall and stay ‘lower than usual’ for the next few days. Naturals hazards in 2022 have become more frequent. We do not know what awaits us in 2024. How global warming and climate change will affect our Earth.
