The average temperature on Madeira in mid April is 71 degrees F.Days tend to be sunny and warm, and the evenings are cool to the low 60s. Spring is one of the best times to visit Madeira, when the island is still vibrant from winter's rains and bursts with wildflowers. The weather is mild, with varying micro-climates depending on where you are exploring. Fit4Travel will provide a packing list in or around February to ensure you are well prepared for all of our excursions!
