Yellow warning for rain on the south coast from 11:00 am today
The Portuguese Weather Institute, IPMA has already predicted that today will continue with generally very cloudy skies, with sometimes heavy rain, which may occasionally include hail and be accompanied by thunderstorms.
Now, they have issued a new warning for heavy precipitation. This time it is a yellow warning for rain on the South Coast of Madeira, in force between 11:00 am on Friday and 9:00 am on Saturday, March 23rd.
The wind will be moderate (20 to 35 km/h) from the north/northeast, sometimes blowing strong (up to 45 km/h), especially in the highlands, with gusts of up to 90 km/h, and in the extreme east and west of Madeira Island, with gusts of up to 70 km/h.
As for the temperature, there will be a small drop, oscillating between a minimum of 14.ºC and a maximum of 21.ºC in Madeira. In Porto Santo, the temperature will vary between a minimum of 14ºC and a maximum of 20ºC.
Generally, very cloudy skies are also expected for Funchal, with the possibility of rain showers, especially from the end of the afternoon. The wind will generally be weak (less than 20 km/h) predominantly from the northeast.
As for the state of the sea, the IPMA points to northerly waves measuring 3.5 to 4.5 metres on the North Coast. For the South Coast, west waves of 1 metre are expected, with less than 1 metre in the eastern part. The temperature of the sea water will vary between 19 and 20 ºC.

all the Incidental News from Madeira ….
All the incidental news from Madeira – up to 60 reports per day – is being picked up automatically, google-translated, and instantly posted to our sister website, madeiraisland.news no matter how trivial:
A new, vastly improved “search” facility has been introduced allowing readers to search (box in the sidebar above) on any word or phrase used in any of the posts over the last sixteen years. Previously the search facility only returned matches on headings rather than the entire content. It remains to be seen whether this will slow the blog down – fingers crossed! If it works it should move the blog even further ahead of the increasing number of imitators, providing a huge resource for visitors and residents.
