Funchal Weather
Before going to Madeira we used to look up things like 'Madeira weather' or 'Funchal weather'. It's only after visiting that one realises how meaningless this is. This photo (taken from a whale-watching trip) shows the Funchal promenade in sunshine whilst menacing clouds hang over the suburbs and the mountains behind that are just a couple of kilometres away. These clouds a a fairly permanent feature that don't move much and deliver quite a lot of rain. I think they reached the coast for just a few hours in a fortnight. So, the weather forecast for Funchal cruise terminal and the Funchal suburb of Monte make very different reading!
