Previously, these regions had already been placed under yellow warning due to the “persistence of high values of the maximum temperature.”
Today, the archipelago is already under a yellow warning due to hot weather, a situation that lasts until 18:00 on Saturday on the north coast of Madeira and Porto Santo. On the south coast and mountainous regions, the yellow warning is in force until 23:59 on Thursday, then becoming an orange warning until 18:00 on Saturday.
According to IPMA forecasts, the temperature is expected to be around 31 degrees on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Funchal.
