Funchal Travel Forum

Does Funchal have beach weather late November ? We are loking for some Winter Sun, around 20th November, and would rather go further for beach weather and maybe visit Madeira late Spring 2007 if its less than sunbathing temperatures -say low to mid 20s C / low 70s F

My parents used to live in Madeira we visted October nad December both times lovely weather!!! Ver good climate but not as hot as Canary Islands.

We went 3 January and had lovely weather

I used to work there last winter from November till March and the weather is very strange and unpredictable in Madeira! Till Newyear the weather was extremely nice with a lot of hot days and after that their were a lot of rainy days.

So when you go there you have to be aware that there's a good chance that it's gonna rain but that's not the end of the world because Funchal is not a plastic tourist place like most places at the Canaries but a proper town with nice indoor bars, restaurants and a very big shopping mall!

But of course it can be 25 degrees and very, very hot and then you will see a totally different Madeira but be aware that there are NO beaches in Funchal but of course you can always hang out around you're swimming pool!

I would recommend you a visit to Madeira because I really loved the place!

I went last November 4-20 and December 04- Jan 05 both times we had good weather we even went swimming both times in Calehta (not sure of spelling) in Dec it was 27 degrees there one day. It may not be beach weather every day but you have a least 2 or 3 days and all the other just jeans and T-shirt.
