A lagoon-side town on the edge of the Ria de Aveiro, Ovar sits on flat, low-lying ground where drainage is slower than in the hillier parts of the district, making it more sensitive to prolonged heavy rain during the wet season. IPMA’s central-region radar covers Ovar as part of its Aveiro lagoon monitoring.
