Weather in Madeira

The weather in Madeira is mild for much of the year, making the island an attractive travel destination in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The climate is subtropical with pleasant temperatures, green nature and often more sun along the south coast where Funchal is located.

Because Madeira is mountainous, the weather can vary between the coast, inland and higher altitudes. It can be sunny and warm in Funchal while clouds and rain occur up in the mountains. For those who are going to hike in Madeira, it is therefore wise to pack layers, comfortable shoes and a light rain jacket.
