The island has multiple microclimates - the south coast (Funchal, Calheta) is typically sunny and warm, while the north coast can be cooler with more rainfall. Mountain peaks like Pico do Areeiro may be 10-15°C cooler than coastal areas and often have morning fog that clears by midday.

Absolutely! Many visitors watch our webcams for several days before their trip to understand weather patterns, crowd levels, and optimal times to visit different locations.

For spectacular sunsets, watch our west-facing webcams including Ponta do Sol, Calheta, and Câmara de Lobos. The best sunset viewing times are typically between 6:00-8:00 PM, varying by season. Funchal harbor webcams also capture beautiful golden hour reflections on the water, while Cabo Girão offers dramatic clifftop sunset perspectives.

While not guaranteed, coastal webcams sometimes capture dolphins and whales passing by, especially during peak season (April-October). Funchal harbor and southern coastal webcams have the best chances. For dedicated whale watching, we recommend booking professional tours that go to known feeding areas offshore.

Madeira has winding mountain roads with steep inclines and tunnels. Use our mountain webcams to check visibility and weather conditions before driving to high-altitude areas like Pico do Areeiro or Encumeada Pass. Morning fog typically clears by 10-11 AM. Coastal road conditions can be monitored via our town and harbor webcams.

Very accurate for current conditions. Mountain webcams show real-time cloud cover, visibility, and weather at high altitudes. For popular hikes like Pico Ruivo or Levada walks, check webcams 1-2 hours before departure. Clear views on webcams indicate good hiking conditions. Heavy fog or rain visible on cameras means you should postpone or choose lower-altitude alternatives.

City and harbor webcams with artificial lighting (like Funchal marina and Avenida Arriaga) provide useful views at night, showing city lights and harbor activity. However, natural landscape webcams (beaches, mountains) have limited visibility after sunset. The best viewing times for most webcams are between sunrise (6-7 AM) and sunset (6-8 PM).
