Funchal Weather

The position of the island of Madeira, in addition to the mountainous landscape and relief, has given this destination a pleasing and mild climate. These factors make the island an exceptional getaway for those seeking an alternative to the cold winters, as the temperature averages at 16C during the winter months.

Subtropical climate

The climate's mild averages and moderate humidity levels give the island a breadth of subtropical features. The warm Gulf current makes the seawater very warm, which is great for swimming and diving.

Funchal is a year-round destination, as even the winters here are pleasantly warm. If you are a sun-worshipper, visiting in the summer months, when temperatures soar to 22C or above, will suit you.
