The Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA) raised the heat warning to orange in Madeira. The South Coast and mountainous regions thus move to the orange level due to persistently high maximum temperatures.
The North Coast and Porto Santo maintain, on the other hand, the yellow warning. The change to orange warning indicates a moderate to high risk of heat exposure, with precautionary measures recommended for the population.
Residents and visitors on the South Coast and mountainous areas of Madeira now face a high risk of heat, requiring additional precautionary measures. The difference between orange and yellow warnings indicates that some areas of the island are more exposed to extreme heat than others, alerting the population to adapt their activities over the coming days.
