Temperatures predicted to reach 104°F
Madeira and its mountainous regions, as well as the South Coast, are under a yellow heat warning until 6:00 pm on Thursday, August 7, 2025. The weather forecast predicts temperatures above 30°C, posing a high risk of fires [1][2].
Meanwhile, mainland Portugal is also experiencing a yellow warning for persistent high temperatures, except for the Faro district [1]. Setúbal is forecasted to be the hottest city on the mainland, with a maximum temperature of 40°C today. Lisbon and Santarém will follow closely with maximum temperatures around 39°C [1].
The weather is expected to be hot with generally clear skies, and sometimes strong winds, especially along coastal strips north of Cabo Raso and in the highlands [1]. This heat episode is part of a considerably severe heat wave lasting until August 6, with very high temperatures expected across much of mainland Portugal [3][5].
The weather conditions in Madeira are being closely monitored by the IPMA [6]. It's important to note that the warnings in Madeira are not related to any natural disaster or specific incident or event [7][8]. Similarly, the yellow warning in mainland Portugal is not a result of any unusual occurrence [7].
In Madeira, the highlands are also predicted to have hot weather [4]. The warning in the mountainous regions of Madeira is also due to the heat [9]. The coastal strip north of Cabo Raso in Madeira is expected to experience strong winds, with the warnings in the area lasting until at least 6:00 pm on Thursday [10].
Stay safe and hydrated during these hot summer days!

The highlands of Madeira and the mountainous regions are under a heat warning due to environmental science, just like the coastal strip north of Cabo Raso, which is expected to experience strong winds. This weather phenomenon is part of a severe heat wave across mainland Portugal, where Setúbal is forecasted to be the hottest city with temperatures up to 40°C.
