The Regional Civil Protection Service of Madeira has issued a warning due to expected adverse weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, from Tuesday to Wednesday.

The Regional Civil Protection Service of Madeira has issued a public warning due to the forecast of adverse weather conditions expected on the island between Tuesday and Wednesday. These conditions are associated with the passage of a warm and humid air mass.

The weather situation is influenced by a depression located to the west/southwest of the archipelago, which is moving southeast. As a result, residents and tourists should expect periods of heavy and persistent rain on May 5th, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds.

The Civil Protection has highlighted potential impacts, including the risk of falling branches or trees, which can pose hazards to both locals and visitors. Residents are urged to secure loose objects and avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather conditions.

In addition to the immediate weather concerns, this warning serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness in facing natural events in Madeira, a region known for its lush landscapes and occasionally volatile weather patterns.
