Madeira is very much a year-round destination, with temperatures staying mild throughout the winter months and rarely dropping below 18°C. During the peak summer months, you’ll have perfect beach or pool weather, with an average daily high pushing close to 30°C. Whilst temperatures are relatively constant across Madeira, it can be a little cooler on the north coast, so well worth being prepared if venturing out on a day trip in winter months.
