What's the Weather like in Funchal in March

Temperature-wise, March is much the same as January and February in FunchalMadeira, but there is much less rain to contend with. Spring is beautiful on the island, thanks to its year-round Mediterranean climate, and the crowds that characterise Funchal in the summer months are pretty non-existent in March, so it's a great time to visit to explore without the bustle of loads of people.

Temperature

Daily average temperatures are usually around 16°C but can often rise to 18°C and above in the hotter parts of the day. Average low temperatures sit at around 14°C throughout the month, so it's still mild even after dark. It's best to pack layers if you're visiting at this time of year t-shirts, shorts, and lighter layers are ideal for the daytime, whilst you might want a warmer jumper or two for the evenings. It's important to pack suncream, though, as the rays are still very strong in March.

Rainfall

March marks the start of spring in Funchal, and the city is heading quickly towards summer, which means there is much less rainfall than in the previous months. Around 60mm falls over an average of 10 days, so there's still a possibility that you might get caught in some showers pack an umbrella and some waterproofs to be on the safe side.

Sunshine

In March, Funchal sees around 8 hours of sunshine per day, which leaves you with plenty of time to get out and explore all the cultural attractions and sights that the city has to offer.

Putting the fairly prominent rainfall aside, March is a great time to visit Funchal as the city blooms into spring. The colours are amazing and the weather is warm, too. Days are long and sun-filled and there are nowhere near as many crowds as there are in the summer months.
