The Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) has forecasted a predominantly cloudy Saturday for Madeira. The skies are expected to become increasingly overcast as the day progresses.
Light rain is anticipated, primarily affecting the northern slopes and highland areas of Madeira. The precipitation is predicted to intensify in the afternoon, potentially spreading to other regions.
Winds from the north/northeast will range from light to moderate, blowing at speeds between 10 to 30 km/h. However, they may reach up to 40 km/h in highland areas and the eastern and western extremes of the island, particularly until late morning.
