The Portuguese Institute for Atmosphere and Sea (IPMA) has renewed its warning of worsening weather across the Madeira archipelago from late today, the 10th of November, into tomorrow morning, as Storm Charles approaches.
Persistent and sometimes heavy rain could produce accumulations exceeding 100 mm in 12 hours in some locations, particularly in mountainous areas. South-westerly winds are expected to strengthen, with gusts reaching 100 km/h and potentially 140 km/h in the highlands.
Sea conditions will also deteriorate, with south-westerly waves of four to five metres forecast along Madeira’s south coast.
The IPMA says red and orange weather warnings have been issued in connection with the storm. Further escalation remains possible in some areas as forecasts are updated, and the institute advises the public to follow its latest bulletins.
