Continent and Madeira forecasted to have rain starting Friday

Weather conditions in mainland Portugal and Madeira will change starting Friday, with expected rain and mild temperatures. Meteorologist Maria João Frada from IPMA noted that Wednesday will remain clear but cold, with temperatures near zero in some regions. By Thursday afternoon, cloud cover will increase, signaling a shift in weather. Rain is anticipated on Friday, particularly along the western coast, with a gradual spread inland. A tropical air mass from the Atlantic will replace the current polar air, leading to warmer temperatures and potential thunderstorms. This marks a significant change from the dry conditions experienced in October, with November expected to bring more precipitation.
