Loures sits inland from Lisbon along the Trancao river valley, where lower-lying neighbourhoods have a history of flash flooding when autumn frontal systems dump heavy rain after a dry summer. The valley terrain channels runoff toward the river faster than the surrounding hills, adding local flood risk on top of Lisbon’s typical Atlantic wet-season pattern. IPMA’s Lisbon-region radar covers the Trancao basin closely.
