The island is settling into a calmer rhythm after the August rush, and everything just feels a little bit easier\u2014restaurant bookings, parking spots, even those prime sunset-view benches. It\u2019s still very much summer, but with a touch more breathing space and a lot less time finding a parking space.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">September is when the Atlantic has had all summer to warm up, meaning early morning dips are something you can really look forward to.

The Madeira temp in September usually hovers between 24\u00b0C during the day and 19\u00b0C at night. That means balmy mornings and perfect evenings for outdoor dining. Up in the mountains, it\u2019ll be cooler, but still pleasant if you\u2019re properly dressed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rainfall is low but not non-existent. On average, Funchal sees around 30mm over five days in the month, and it rarely overstays its welcome. If anything, it keeps the island green and the air fresh. And the ocean? With water temperatures around 24\u00b0C, swimming in September is glorious. It\u2019s warm, it\u2019s clear, and you don\u2019t have to worry about the summer jellyfish drama.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ddd94a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3ddd94a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Madeira-in-September-temperature-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4451\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Madeira-in-September-temperature-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Madeira-in-September-temperature-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Madeira-in-September-temperature-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Madeira-in-September-temperature.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ac6dd0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2ac6dd0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cbfd63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6cbfd63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Outdoor Activities Suitable in September\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05b7688 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05b7688\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Madeira in September is a sweet spot for getting outside.

The Madeira weather in September might be friendly, but if you\u2019re heading into the hills or catching an early boat, a light jumper or jacket won\u2019t go amiss. Also, sun cream. September sun is still sun.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hire a car if you can. Public transport covers the basics, but a car gives you the freedom to chase the sunshine, reach the quieter viewpoints, and pop into those small local caf\u00e9s you won\u2019t find in guidebooks. Just remember: the roads have personality. Tight bends, steep climbs, and questionable parking make it all part of the fun.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-660ca0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"660ca0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/madeira-september-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4456\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/madeira-september-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/madeira-september-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/madeira-september-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.atlanticholidayrentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/madeira-september.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b471b3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5b471b3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9487502 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9487502\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Visit Madeira This September\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78ee2d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"78ee2d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to recap: Madeira in September is warm but not sweltering, lively but not hectic, and offers a bit of everything from hiking and swimming to festivals and food.
