The article discusses the impact of the weather system “Depressão Regina” on the Madeira region, expected to bring overcast skies, snow, and strong northern winds. Starting March 3, the weather will be influenced by this depression, which will move southeast. On March 5, a cold front will lead to heavy cloud cover and rain, particularly affecting the northern slopes and highlands, with snow forecasted at higher altitudes.

The Regional Civil Protection Service warns of potential hazards due to strong winds (gusts up to 120 km/h), including falling branches, slippery roads, and possible flooding in urban areas. They recommend taking preventive measures such as ensuring drainage systems are clear, securing loose structures, and avoiding unnecessary travel in vulnerable areas. Residents are advised to stay informed about weather updates and follow safety guidelines to minimize risks associated with the severe weather conditions.
