Current Weather Conditions

The Garoe depression will cause heavy rain until Wednesday in mainland Portugal and the Madeira archipelago, according to the Portuguese Institute of Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA). The situation will worsen on the mainland with strong winds and rough seas.

Fortunately, the worst seems to have passed for the Madeira island, which recorded gusts up to 110 km/h and waves reaching 11 meters. Rain is expected to continue for at least another day.

In mainland Portugal, rain will persist until Wednesday and may be accompanied by thunderstorms or hail. Wind gusts could reach 75 km/h, and wave heights could reach 10 meters.

Weather Warnings

Almost all districts in mainland Portugal are under yellow warning until 6 PM Wednesday due to precipitation, with exceptions for Guarda, Vila Real, and Bragança. Beja, Faro, Leiria, Lisbon, and Setúbal will experience orange alerts in the morning due to rough seas.

The Garoe depression, named by IPMA, is associated with a frontal system.

What’s Next?

While the weather may calm temporarily after Wednesday, a new depression is forecasted to impact mainland Portugal on Saturday. According to meteorologist Patrícia Marques, this new depression will move through the northern Iberian Peninsula, bringing rain starting on the 25th in the Minho and Douro Litoral regions, quickly spreading nationwide.

“Expect snowfall, increased rough seas, and heightened wind intensity,” adds the meteorologist.
