Madeira

The answer this snapshot supports

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. Paul do Mar, Ponta do Pargo, Eira do Serrado, Caniçal, Curral das Freiras, Machico, Rabaçal, Ponta de São Lourenço, Encumeada, Pico do Arieiro, Pico Ruivo, Paul da Serra.
- Porto Santo is a separate island. It is never counted in these comparisons and never offered as a drive.
