Data from the Madeira Regional Directorate of Statistics indicated that all weather stations reported average temperatures above climatological norms, with maximum air temperatures reaching 33.0 °C.

Forecasts indicated that incoming showers and cloudy skies were expected to reduce atmospheric particle concentrations and slightly decrease temperatures.
