Seven districts in Portugal are facing a yellow warning due to heavy rain on Thursday. According to the Portuguese Institute of the Ocean and Atmosphere (IPMA), this heavy rain will occasionally be accompanied by thunder.

The seven districts with a heavy rain warning in Portugal are Viana do Castelo, Porto, Braga, Aveiro, Vila Real, Viseu, and Coimbra. 

The IPMA emits a yellow warning when risk is associated with certain activities due to the meteorological situation.

The heavy rain is said to decrease in the afternoon in the north and center of the country.
