This Tuesday, the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) placed the islands of the Central Azores group under a yellow warning level due to the forecast of heavy rain, after having already done the same for the eastern island.
Therefore, the islands of Faial, Pico, Sao Jorge, Terceira and Graciosa will be under a yellow warning until 12:00 in the Azores (13:00 in Lisbon).
Also, according to IPMA, on the islands of the Eastern group (San Miguel and Santa Maria), for which warnings have already been issued, an orange warning is in effect until 21:00 due to heavy rainfall.
A yellow warning, valid from 21:00 to 00:00 on Tuesday, was also issued for the same group of islands due to heavy rainfall.
The orange warning is the second-most severe on the scale and is issued in “moderate to high risk weather situations,” according to the IPMA.
A yellow warning, the least severe on a scale of three, is issued whenever a risk situation arises for certain activities depending on the meteorological situation.
