There have been several constraints at Madeira Airport since this Saturday, mainly due to the strong wind that has been felt so far, and which even led to a yellow warning from the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere.
Since midnight, the strongest gust recorded at the Santa Catarina/Airport station was 86 km/h, and in the last hour the wind reached 63 km/h.
At the Chão do Areeiro and Pico Alto weather stations, gusts have even exceeded 100 km/h since the beginning of today.
The yellow warning due to northeast winds is in effect until 9 am tomorrow, December 23. On Monday morning, a new yellow warning comes into effect due to showers, which will sometimes be heavy and accompanied by thunderstorms.
