After 58 hours, Storm Kristin’s impact in Portugal is still being felt, with power and Internet disruptions continuing in some regions. Traffic in Leiria is now about 40% lower than usual, and in Santarém about 30% lower. The Coimbra region has mostly recovered.

Storm Kristin hit Portugal early this morning with winds up to 150 km/h (93 miles/h), causing power and communication outages. Internet traffic dropped ~70% in Leiria after 04:00 UTC and remains impacted. Coimbra saw a ~52% drop from 05:30 but is now recovering.
