Madeira is under yellow warning for hot weather until Monday

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 11:37

The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) issued a yellow warning for hot weather on the south coast of Madeira. The warning will be in force between 09:00 today and 18:00 on Monday, covering a period of approximately 57 hours.

The yellow warning, which represents the lowest level on a three-level danger scale, indicates situations of risk for certain activities dependent on weather conditions. During this period, high temperatures are expected in the southern region of the island.

The IPMA's decision to issue this warning is related to the forecast of temperatures above normal for this time of year in the region. The authorities recommend special care for the population, namely adequate hydration and avoidance of prolonged sun exposure during the hottest hours of the day.

Why this matters

Residents and visitors on the south coast of Madeira should take precautions against intense heat during this period. This warning follows IPMA's usual protocols for high temperature events.
