I was there over Christmas a couple of years ago, it did rain occasionally in between the sunshine - it could hardly be the green and flowery place it is if it didn't - but no need for wellies. However boots are a good idea if you will be doing any levada walking, some of the paths get very muddy after rain. Think May/June in Ireland, since that seems to be where you are. People certainly were sitting out by the swimming pools although I have no idea what the sea temperature would have been.

depends where you are staying. If you are in Funchal, expect some rain. If you are in the mountains expect more rain. If you are on the sunny strip between Ribeira Brava & Ponta do Sol, probably very little rain. Der www.madeira4u.com

Hi, January is winter. I suggest you pack layers, in the day time you will probably find it warm enough to be in shorts or a skirt (not sure if you m/f) and a t-shirt, bring a brolly As for wellies if you are going on a levada walk you will need hiking boots! Evening time you will need a sweater. Temps can vary, but should be around 16C.
