Hello Sue, no one can say for sure about that time of year, but a few years ago when we went at New Year it was round the pool weather most days, even went up in the hills on long walks in just a tee shirt. It does cool of at night so you do need a jumper or light coat.

Hi Sue,
I used to live and work there until very recently. You will have no problems getting a tan in December as the previous writer says. You may get rain for 2 days out of 5 say; after all it is their winter as well! ;)
If you want Christmas/New Year I suggest you book NOW!. This is Madeira's most popular 2 weeks. It has the Guinness Book or Records prize for the longest fireworks display at New Year. My daughter works for Pestana Hotels, so I have a bias! :)

Hi, we went to Madeira for 4 days between Christmas and new year. The wife and I both wore shorts everyday, the evenings were cool but I would have no hesitation going agian at that time of year.
