Precipitation was heaviest on the southwest coast and mountainous regions.
The rain recorded at the end of the night and early morning today reached (until 08:00) orange warning levels in Chão do Areeiro (22.0 mm/1h and 44.6 mm/6h).
At this station located at an altitude of 1500 metres, very significant extremes were also recorded in short periods, namely 9.3 mm/10 min. and 14.1 mm/30 min., the latter already consistent with a yellow ‘alert’.
For time intervals more spaced out from the meteorological warning criteria, it reached the yellow warning quantity in just 2 hours (39.5 mm) and the orange warning quantity in 3 hours (42.3 mm).
Rain that also corresponded to the yellow warning in force – for the south coast and mountainous regions of Madeira Island – in Pico do Areeiro and Pico Alto (13.0 mm/1h), in Ponta do Sol/Lugar de Baixo (10.6 mm/1h), and in Prazeres (10.1 mm/1h).
All active stations in the IPMA network on Madeira Island (15) and Porto Santo Island (1) recorded precipitation.
Blue skies in Caniço now, so maybe it will be a nice day.
