Will the sunset be good tonight in Madeira?

The live score above pulls today's forecast and runs it through GoldCast's scoring model. Above 70 is worth going out. Below 40, stay home. The score updates daily.

What makes a good sunset in Madeira?

Madeira sits in the Atlantic with no land to the west, which means unobstructed ocean horizons for sunset. The island's dramatic cliffs and volcanic terrain give you elevated viewpoints that look straight into the setting sun over open water. Cabo Girão, one of Europe's highest sea cliffs, and Ponta do Pargo on the western tip are the prime spots. The island generates its own cloud cover from orographic lift, so GoldCast scores matter here: cloud below the mountain peaks can still leave the western horizon clear.

What time is sunset in Madeira tonight?

Madeira sunset ranges from around 5:50 PM in December to 8:55 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
