===Climate=== Madeira has many different bioclimates.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.globalbioclimatics.org/form/tb_med.htm |title=Mapas bioclimáticos y biogeográficos |website=Globalbioclimatics.org |access-date=2 August 2017 |archive-date=14 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014103938/http://www.globalbioclimatics.org/form/tb_med.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Based on differences in sun exposure, humidity, and annual mean temperature, clear variations distinguish north- and south-facing regions, as well as some islands. The islands are strongly influenced by the [[Gulf Stream]] and [[Canary Current]], giving it mild to warm year-round temperatures. According to the Instituto de Meteorologia (IPMA), the average annual temperature at Funchal weather station is {{convert|19.6|C|F|1}} for the 1981–2010 period. [[Orographic lift|Relief]] is a determinant factor on precipitation levels; areas such as the [[Madeira Natural Park]] can get as much as {{cvt|2800|mm}} of precipitation a year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ipma.pt/pt/oclima/normais.clima/1971-2000/#535 |title=Precipitation of Madeira Island |publisher=[[IPMA]] |access-date=8 October 2020 |archive-date=26 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926152417/http://www.ipma.pt/pt/oclima/normais.clima/1971-2000/#535 |url-status=live }}</ref> Madeira hosts lush [[laurel forests]], while [[Porto Santo]], a much flatter island, has a [[semiarid climate]] (''BSh'').
