IPMA raises heat warning to orange in Madeira

dnoticias.pt14 September 2026 at 13:08

The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) has raised the weather warning for hot weather from yellow to orange on the South Coast of Madeira and in the mountain regions. This update represents a significant increase in the alert level for extreme heat.

The orange warning came into effect this Monday and extends until 6 PM on Tuesday, September 15. Due to the time difference, in Madeira this deadline corresponds to 7 PM local time.

The South Coast of Madeira region and the mountain areas are the most affected by this intense heat situation. The orange warning indicates meteorological conditions that represent significant risk to the population and require special care.

Why this matters

The change from yellow to orange warning represents a significant worsening of meteorological conditions, indicating higher temperatures and greater risk to public health. Residents and visitors in the affected areas should take extra precautions against intense heat.
