East end vs west end

What this page does not claim

• This compares one validated snapshot, not a climate record. Madeira Sun has not yet logged enough paired forecast and observation history to say which part of the island is sunnier over a week, a month or a season, so this page does not say it.
• Zone coordinates are still seed values that have not been checked against a terrain model. A zone can move between groups once they are verified.
• Every score here is model output, not a measurement. The confidence label beside each score states how much observation stands behind it.
• Zones outside the groups above are not part of this comparison. Every scored zone still appears in the full ranking further down the page. Funchal (Sé), Câmara de Lobos, Ponta do Sol, Madalena do Mar, Monte, Ribeira Brava, Funchal (Lido), Eira do Serrado, Seixal, Cabo Girão, Curral das Freiras, Caniço, Ponta Delgada, São Vicente, Faial, Boaventura, Encumeada, Pico do Arieiro, Pico Ruivo, Paul da Serra, Arco de São Jorge, Santana.
• Porto Santo is a separate island. It is never counted in these comparisons and never offered as a drive.
