The Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) has forecasted a Saturday filled with extensive cloud cover and the possibility of light showers over Madeira. These weather conditions are expected to be more prominent in the northern slopes and highlands of the island.
Winds are anticipated to be light to moderate, ranging from 10 to 30 km/h, coming from the northwest. However, in the highlands, stronger winds reaching up to 40 km/h may occur, particularly until midday. By late afternoon, the winds are expected to shift to a westerly direction.
Temperature-wise, residents and visitors can expect a cool day with minimum temperatures around 14°C and maximum temperatures not exceeding 19°C. These conditions are typical for Madeira during this time of year, offering a mild climate that is generally appreciated by both locals and tourists.
For those planning outdoor activities or tours, it's advisable to prepare for intermittent rain and cooler temperatures, especially if visiting the higher altitudes or northern areas. Madeira's unique topography often results in varied weather conditions across the island, so staying informed about local forecasts is recommended.
