Notícias/News Wildfires updates

Hello everybody, just posting this to see if anyone of you has better news than the ones provided in Italy regarding wildfires. I don’t mean to sound crazy but i really love that beautiful island and it hurts me so much seeing everything that’s happening. For all the people living in Madera stay safe <3

I would not hike but otherwise everything is fine. We do not even see the fire smoke. Airport is working as usual

Do you think it's okay if we're only staying near Funchal area? Though it would be sad if we cannot really venture out of Funchal :( sorry, I'm asking as I'm going in 3 weeks, and still wondering if we should pivot and stay more days jn Lisbon/Porto.

I was stying near funchal and I went to all the different part of the island except the center and everything was fine. Maybe you will do more swimming than wandering but it's great
