Observatório CLIMA-Madeira

The Madeira Climate Observatory is a platform dedicated to monitoring, analysing and disseminating information on the Regional Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change – CLIMA-Madeira Strategy. As a reference point to understand and address climate challenges in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, it provides accurate and up-to-date climate data, which is fundamental for strategic planning to adapt to climate change that impacts the region. The Observatorio CLIMA-Madeira is a very simple cartographic viewer of historical data and projections (temperature, precipitation and many other indicators)
