An Atlantic depression will bring rain, wind, and thunderstorms to Portugal starting Thursday, May 7, 2026. The Azores will experience the initial impact, with the mainland seeing increased instability from Friday through early next week. Saturday is expected to be the worst day. This weather pattern, characterized by a cold depression, is difficult to predict precisely but may persist into early May, with cooler temperatures and potential for snow in high areas.
