The Portuguese Institute for Atmosphere and Sea (IPMA) website shows that two earthquakes were recorded off the northwest Madeira coastline today.
The first was at 12:44 registering 4.7 on the Richter Scale, with a second 2.8 magnitude earthquake recorded eight minutes later at 12:52.
It is believed that due to their location they would not have been felt.
