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.
  • Porto Santo is a separate island. It is never counted in these comparisons and never offered as a drive.
