Best Times to Visit
Spring
March to May keeps temperatures around 18–22 °C with abundant blooms. Orographic clouds sweep across ridgelines after showers, creating dramatic texture on the mountain-facing cameras.
Summer
June to September brings 22–28 °C warmth, brighter light, and calmer seas. It is the best window for beach, marina, and dolphin-spotting feeds because the Atlantic remains glassy for hours.
Autumn
October and November lean cooler with glowing sunsets and fewer tour buses. Watch how humidity forms low cloud in the valleys while clifftop viewpoints stay clear for golden-hour photography.
Winter
December to February keeps afternoons near 17–19 °C. Atlantic lows occasionally push southeast swell into otherwise sheltered bays—use the cameras to see if breakwaters are overtopped before you travel.
Local Tips for Better Views
Chasing Sunshine
If southern resorts look grey, move north—trade winds often leave the Laurissilva valleys bathed in light while cloud clings to Cabo Girão.
Dodging Wind
Spot whitecaps on coastal feeds? Retreat inland to levada glades or the amphitheatre streets of Funchal where gusts drop instantly.
Reading Mountain Weather
Cloud hugging Pico do Areeiro usually sits 400–500 m above the villages. Track inversion lines on the webcams before committing to high-altitude hikes.
Planning Checklist
- Check sunrise glare and shade length on plazas and promenades before heading out.
- Keep a tablet open with your favourite streams so you can detour quickly when another bay clears up.
- Bookmark or share the most useful feeds with travel companions so everyone sees live conditions instantly.
