O Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) today put the islands of the Central group of the Azores under yellow warning, due to the rain forecast, which can be strong.
According to IPMA, the islands of the Central group (Faial, Pico, São Jorge, Graciosa and Terceira) will be under yellow warning between 14:00 locals (one more hour in Lisbon) of Wednesday and 05:00 places of Thursday, because of “precipitation sometimes strong, can be accompanied by thunder”.
The yellow warning, the least serious of a three-scale, is issued by the IPMA whenever there is a risk situation for certain activities dependent on the weather situation.
