Thank you so much my dear friend! I will be safe, but Madeira Island is in danger!

the red allert was extended to the 15h of tomorrow [link to www.dnoticias.pt]

The red alert will be extended up to 15 hours of Sunday, due to the forecast of heavy rain, just moved to the DAILY Director of the Meteorological Observatory of Funchal, Vítor Prior, after the last revaluation weather conditions.

So far there are no major constraints or damage resulting from bad weather. However, forecasts for peak rainfall intensity with higher between midnight and 6 and / or 9 hours of Sunday morning.

The system of rain will thus be 30 to 40 mm in one hour or more than 60 mm in 6 hours, a fact which requires the population to remain vigilant, especially in most vulnerable areas along the slopes and water lines.

"What can happen is that the warning (red) which is now in the air might be extended for another three hours, because the forecasts indicate that there may still raining with some intensity until 3 o'clock in the afternoon," said Victor Prior .

The wind intensity is also relatively low compared to the initially planned. "The forecasts yesterday pointed to values that could reach up to 140 km / h in the highlands but now there is an indication of relatively lower values, to 120 km / h," he added.

These are the latest findings from observation of meteorological data, after 19h30, revealed the director of the Meteorological Observatory of Funchal, contacted by DAILY.

According to the image of ASCAT this morning, stronger winds are even NW / W of the island.

The center of circulation is even leaning against the island, and there on the island a mass of dry air descending according to the NHC WV ( [link to www.ssd.noaa.gov] ).

Therefore, it will be difficult to form active convection in the coming hours ... but it is supposed that this layer of dry air is diluted in the circulation depressionaria, so for the late afternoon and at night it is possible to re-enable some convection in RAM ... also the remoteness of depression for SE can leave the RAM in a region of strong winds from the east and further instability in the sector N of depression.

This evening and night periods will again be more critical, and deserves undoubtedly worth keeping some attention to sat. [link to www.meteopt.com]
