At the same time, there are not so many tourists in the center of the North Atlantic in November, and prices for accommodation and flights are falling. The average temperature in November on the island is 21.7 degrees.
This is why Madeira is called the island of eternal spring. In the last month of autumn, it remains pleasantly warm, although it may rain. This weather is ideal for long hikes through green hills and rocky landscapes.
