A warm night with highs above 25°C on Madeira Island
Last night was tropical not only along the coast, but also in the higher elevations of Madeira Island. At Pico Alto, located over 1,100 meters above sea level in the mountains of Funchal, the temperature ranged between 21.2°C and 23.4°C.
Among the 20 IPMA meteorological stations in the archipelago (18 on Madeira Island, Porto Santo, and Selvagem Grande), the minimum temperature did not drop below 20°C in 12. The lowest value was recorded in Caniçal/Ponta de São Lourenço (20.0°C) and the highest in Funchal/Lido (22.1°C).
Before sunrise, around 8:00 a.m., temperatures exceeded 25°C at intermediate elevations, particularly at stations on the west coast: Prazeres and Ponta do Pargo recorded 25.7°C at 6:30 a.m., while Cancela/SRPC reached 25.1°C at 3:30 a.m.
Only at the highest stations, Chão do Areeiro and Pico do Areeiro, did the air temperature fall below 20°C during the early morning hours.
