Storm Bruna causes severe flooding and flight delays in Funchal, Portugal

On November 7, 2026, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, @IanGee19 shared a video showing severe urban flooding and adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Bruna. In the video, floodwater covers a section of Estrada Monumental near the Lido hotel area, outside the Baía Azul Hotel, submerging a pedestrian crossing as cars and a public bus cautiously navigate the flooded road at night. Another scene shows a palm-lined coastal or park area being battered by strong winds and heavy rainfall, with visibility reduced under streetlights. According to reports, Storm Bruna brought torrential rainfall and powerful wind gusts to Madeira, resulting in widespread flooding, traffic disruptions, and flight delays at Madeira International Airport. The author reported that the heavy rain, which had been forecast for Funchal, caused difficulties for motorists and pedestrians. The author also noted that further rainfall was expected and that their late-morning flight back to the UK had been delayed until the following evening.
