Unlike many other travel companies we operate on a trust account model. Once we’ve paid the airline for your flights, the rest of your money is held in a trust account. We do not have access to this directly and can only withdraw funds when you are back home from holiday
All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme from the moment you book. So if one of our suppliers fails, you’ll get your money back. If you’re left stranded abroad, a flight home will be arranged at no extra cost. Our ATOL number is 11806
As proud ABTA members we deliver the highest standards when it comes to our holidays. So if you book with us you’re guaranteed the best service. Our ABTA number is P8283, Y6720.
What's the weather like in Funchal in January?
Sitting on the south coast of Madeira, Funchal is the capital of this beautiful Portuguese island. Found in the Atlantic Ocean, the island has a Mediterranean-style climate with hot, dry summers and mild, damp winters. January is the wettest month of the year in Funchal, and also one of the coolest, but the city is still a great place to escape the chilly UK winter. Temperatures are pleasant and you’ll see plenty of the sun at this time, although it’s worth bringing a waterproof jacket.
Averages
In January, the average temperature in Funchal is 16ºC, reaching highs of 18ºC in the hottest part of the day. While you’ll need t-shirts for the daytime, make sure you bring some warmer things for the evenings as temperatures cool down to 14ºC at night. Around 110mm of rain’s forecast during January, with 13 days expecting some wet weather. You can still expect an average of ten hours of sunshine each day though, and the water of the Atlantic Ocean measures 18ºC at this time of year.
