Weather, coast by coast

The island reports different weather at the same hour on different coasts. Six stations, one reading each, observations rather than forecasts. The map below carries the four compass points; the list adds Monte, 593 m up behind Funchal, and Porto Santo on the second island. Each card says when its reading was taken, and readings refresh every time you open the page. If you're choosing between Madeira and the Azores, our sister site compares their climate and hiking.
