Climate

Madeira has an excellent climate, with sun and good temperatures
throughout the year. Average temperature is 23ºc in Summer and
19ºC in Winter. The sea water temperature is equally moderate due
to the influence of the Gulf hot stream, with the average of 22ºC in
the summer and 17ºC in winter. The north coast is more exposed to
the northerly winds, therefore it is colder and damper than the south
coast. Another reason, is the intense amount of vegetation in that
area. South coast is more protected due to the mountains located on
the central part of the island (Pico Ruivo and Pico do Arieiro) which
protect the South coast from the cold winds, influencing in that way
the South cost’s temperatures turning them hotter than the north cost.
This thermal regularity is also a consequence of the Oceanic location,
due to the stream of movement from the Canary Islands, which keep
the waters crystal clear and waters regular during all year around.
