What's the Weather like in Funchal in July

July is one of the hottest months in FunchalMadeira, with plenty of sunshine, soaring temperatures, and very little rainfall. It's the perfect time to visit to soak up all the good weather, but it can be fairly busy because of the start of the summer holidays.

Temperature

Average high temperatures can rise to a very pleasant 24°C and higher during the warmer parts of the day. Even at night it's extremely mild, with temperatures rarely falling below 19°C, making al fresco dining the perfect evening activity. Usually, though you can expect average temperatures to hover around 22°C thanks to the sea breeze than ensures the island never gets too hot. It's best to pack layers if you're visiting at this time of year; t-shirts, shorts and swimwear are ideal for during the day, but you'll probably want a thin cardigan or jumper for when the sun goes down. Be sure to pack lots of suncream, too, as the summer sun in Funchal can be fierce.

Rainfall

Summer is the dry season in Funchal, which means that July sees barely any rainfall. Only around 10mm falls throughout the month over an average of 4 days. It's unlikely you'll encounter any showers during your trip so it's not necessary to pack an umbrella and waterproofs, though feel free to slip them into your suitcase if you want to stay on the safe side.

Sunshine Hours

Because of its location close to the tip of North Africa, Madeira sees little variation in the amount of sunshine hours throughout the year. In July you can expect to see between 3 and 5 hours of sunshine per day, which doesn't seem like a lot, but still provides time for you to explore all that the town has to offer as well as kick back and relax on the beaches.

July in Funchal is hot and it proves to be a hugely popular time to visit as the summer holidays get underway. However, there are plenty of things to do and see and the high temperatures and minimal amount of rain make it a great time to visit.
