Summary

[edit]
Description
English: At the end of last week, Portugal found itself in the grip of an intense storm that originated in the north Atlantic Ocean. As the area of low pressure moved from the Bay of Biscay southwards, it unleashed a score of extreme weather phenomena across Portugal, resulting in heavy rain, sporadic snow, and strong winds. Along Portugal's west coast, waves reached heights of six to eight metres. At the famous Praia do Norte in Nazaré, renowned for its towering waves, waves swelled to an astonishing ten metres. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows the foam of the enormous waves at Praia do Norte on 9 March. Copernicus Sentinel satellites allow for accurate and frequent monitoring of wind patterns and their impact on coastal areas.
