Residents and tourists in Madeira should prepare for a rainy and windy New Year's Eve, as the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) has issued a weather forecast indicating these conditions due to the influence of weather systems from the North Atlantic.

Madeira, a popular tourist destination, often sees an influx of visitors during the holiday season, drawn by its mild climate and picturesque landscapes. However, this year's weather forecast may necessitate adjustments in plans for both locals and tourists.
The IPMA advises people to stay updated on weather alerts and to plan accordingly, ensuring safety during the holiday celebrations. Understanding the potential for adverse weather, event organizers might consider contingency plans to accommodate the expected conditions.
Madeira's New Year's Eve festivities are a major attraction, with the island's capital, Funchal, being a central hub of activities. The weather forecast serves as a reminder to prepare for a different kind of celebration this year.
