Major power outages hit Spain, Portugal and southern France on Monday, affecting millions of people.

Many traffic lights ceased to function, metros and trains were halted, and people struggled to get mobile phone signal.

Authorities in Spain have asked residents to stay put amid the power blackout, AFP reports. The cause for the outage was not immediately reported.

We want to hear from people affected by the outages. What has been the impact on you? What services have been hit in the outages? What disruption has this caused in your life?
