Madeira

What's the weather like in Madeira in November?

Climatic influences

Madeira has a warm, subtropical climate. The Gulf Stream will help to keep you nice and warm in November. The south and west of the main island’s the warmest and driest because of north easterly winds, which are blocked by the mountains. The Sahara Desert sometimes sends over hot winds, which can push temperatures up a lot.
