Funchal recorded brutal levels of precipitation tonight. The Observatory in just 1 hour exceeded the red warning level for the 6-hour interval, registering an impressive 61.2 liters per square meter (mm). It was between 7:50 PM and 8:50 PM.
Also very relevant was the amount of rain that fell in the last 6 hours of this Saturday in the ‘mother station’ of the IPMA in Madeira, with a cumulative that more than doubled the reference value for the red warning (60 mm), having recorded in the 6 wettest hours, between 18:00 and 24:00, a total of 128.0 mm (11.9 mm / 10 min .; 32.4 mm / 30 min .; 94.4 mm / 2h; 116.4mm / 3h).
This Saturday, as electrifying as it was flooded, a copious rain also left its mark on the Lido station, where in just 1 hour (between 19:10 and 20:10) 54.3 mm were recorded. The ‘vermilion’ in the amount of precipitation doubled in the second red alert parameter (above 60 mm in 6 hours), registering extremes of: 79.5 mm / 2 hours; 86.9mm / 3h; 94.5 mm / 6 h.
But it was not only in Funchal that it rained torrentially. São Vicente and Ponta do Pargo also joined the list of locations equipped with IPMA weather stations to reach extreme risk levels this Saturday night. As had already happened, during the day, in Pico do Areeiro, Quinta Grande, Santa Cruz / Airport, Santana and Ponta de São Jorge.
