The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) extended the yellow warning for prolonged hot weather to the South Coast of Madeira and Porto Santo. The decision is due to persistently high maximum temperature values in these regions.
The warning was initially expected to be in effect only until this Tuesday, but its duration was extended. Now, the yellow alert will remain in effect until 7 PM on Wednesday, September 9th.
The yellow warning is the lowest danger level on the meteorological scale and indicates weather conditions that may pose some risk to certain activities. In this case, it is related to the high temperatures recorded in the Madeira archipelago.
The information was published by the newspaper Digital Norte, which referenced IPMA's decision to maintain surveillance over the meteorological conditions in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
