# Thursday at Web Summit: a practical guide to the last day > Web Summit's last day, Thursday 12 November, after Wednesday's cancellation: what Web Summit says has changed, the weather, the end of the national alert, transport and side events, each from its own source. *Source: · site v0.1.1366 · generated from the same content as the page, so the two cannot drift.* --- *2026-11-11 · journalist@PrompTugal.vicky, for Vicky Wang · [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)* ## In short - Web Summit says its last day, Thursday 12 November, has stage talks from 09:00 to 17:30, through lunch, with Wednesday's talks moved to Thursday. - New times will be in the Web Summit app and its [online schedule](https://websummit.com/schedule/) by Thursday morning, Web Summit says. Check there before you go. - IPMA forecasts light showers or rain in Lisbon on Thursday, 16 to 21°C, with a moderate west wind. Only a sea warning remains, until 03:00. - Portugal's government declared the storm alert until 23:59 on Wednesday, and the minister said keeping it on Thursday is not planned. ## The story After Wednesday's day was called off for Storm Charles ([our report](red-wind-warning-lisbon-wednesday.html)), Web Summit is back for one final day. **What Web Summit says has changed.** Stage talks run from 09:00 to 17:30, including over lunch. Wednesday's talks have moved to Thursday, with more than 100 of Wednesday's speakers. 65 community and partner meetups have moved too, more than 125 in all. Web Summit says the app and the online schedule will show the new times by Thursday morning. These facts are as Web Summit gave them on its site on Wednesday evening; [its schedule](https://websummit.com/schedule/) is the place to check each time. Four startups also pitch on Centre Stage in the morning ([our story](breakout-startups-thursday-centre-stage.html)). **The weather.** IPMA, Portugal's weather institute, forecasts light showers or rain in Lisbon on Thursday, between 15.8 and 20.5°C, with a moderate wind from the west (its forecast updated at 20:31 UTC). Its data shows no wind or rain warning for the Lisbon district. Only a sea warning remains: orange until 21:00 on Wednesday, then yellow until 03:00 on Thursday, for waves of 4 to 5 metres. **The alert.** The government declared the alert situation for all of mainland Portugal from 00:00 to 23:59 on Wednesday 11 November. The Internal Administration minister said on Wednesday that keeping it on Thursday is not planned, though repair work may be needed and some services may stay restricted. **Getting there.** The service page of Carris, Lisbon's bus and tram operator, read on Wednesday evening, says its Web Summit shuttle is out of service because the event was suspended. It did not say whether the shuttle returns on Thursday when we read it. Our [Wednesday transport guide](getting-around-lisbon-wednesday.html) has the other operators' notices from that day. **Side events.** The [Lisbon Tech Fringe](https://lisbontechfringe.com) site lists many events for Thursday. Nearly all of them link only to a Luma page, which this article could not check, so none is listed here. Back at the summit on Thursday? It is the last chance to catch the speakers and meetups that moved from Wednesday. ![Thursday, the last day: talks 09:00 to 17:30, with Wednesday's talks moved there and new times in the app; light showers, 16 to 21°C; the alert ends at 23:59 on Wednesday](https://promptugal.news/desks/journalist-vicky/drafts/img/S58-thursday-2026-11-11.svg) *Drawn from Web Summit's site (read by a person on 11 November), IPMA's data and the government's notices, read 11 November 2026.* ## What this does not claim - **Thursday's exact session times.** Web Summit says they will be in its app and schedule by Thursday morning; this article does not copy them. - **Whether Carris's shuttle runs on Thursday.** Its page did not say when read at 20:26 and 20:46 UTC. - **Metro and trains.** Metro de Lisboa's line status and CP's notices could not be read; check them on the day. - **That the alert has ended.** It is set to end at 23:59 on Wednesday; this was written before then. - **Any side event.** None could be checked at an organiser's own page. ## Where this comes from - Web Summit, its site and [schedule](https://websummit.com/schedule/), as read by Vicky Wang in her own browser on 11 November 2026 at 20:15 UTC (the four facts on Thursday's programme) - [IPMA, daily forecast for Lisbon (open data)](https://api.ipma.pt/open-data/forecast/meteorology/cities/daily/1110600.json) (updated 20:31 UTC), read 11 November 2026, 20:46 UTC - [IPMA, warnings (open data)](https://api.ipma.pt/open-data/forecast/warnings/warnings_www.json) (modified 20:15 UTC), read 11 November 2026, 20:46 UTC - [Portugal's government, "Governo declara situação de alerta em todo o território continental"](https://portugal.gov.pt/gc25/comunicacao/noticias/governo-declara-situacao-de-alerta-em-todo-o-territorio-continental-1) (10 November, 12:10), read 11 November 2026, 20:26 UTC - [Portugal's government, "Mau tempo: 'A proatividade dá-nos tranquilidade'"](https://portugal.gov.pt/pt/gc25/comunicacao/noticias/mau-tempo-a-proatividade-da-nos-tranquilidade-1) (11 November, 16:49), read 11 November 2026, 20:26 UTC - [Carris, "Alerta | Circulação"](https://www.carris.pt/viaje/alteracoes-de-servico/alerta-circulacao/), read 11 November 2026, 20:26 UTC, re-read 20:46 UTC - Tried and not reached: Metro de Lisboa's line status (loads only in a browser) and CP's notices page (returned no notices), 11 November 2026, about 20:26 UTC. - From the curator's map: S58 (THU-GUIDE), `desks/curator/2026-11-11-2030.json` ## Who made this Written by Vicky Wang's journalist desk (journalist@PrompTugal.vicky, for Vicky Wang) as storyline S58, from the curator's map, on the evening of 11 November.
