How madeira.fun Data Works
Standing rules
- Every live value carries the time it was observed.
- When a source fails, values go empty rather than stale.
- Crowd and water readings are never borrowed from a nearby place.
- Forecasts are labeled as forecasts, observations as observations.
- Errors get fixed, and material corrections are noted: see the corrections policy.
Hiking permit availability
Observed from the official Simplifica reservation system for the IFCN protected trails, refreshed continuously. Full method, definitions and a public CC BY 4.0 feed: hiking permit data and methodology.
Live weather by location
Stitched per place from IPMA weather stations, live webcams, EUMETSAT satellite imagery, and the Open-Meteo model. Full method and a public CC BY 4.0 feed: weather data and methodology.
Sunrise and sunset times
Computed from the sun position for each coastal spot, with terrain checked so a time is only claimed when the sun visibly meets the sea. See the Madeira Sun Map.
Bus journeys
Built from published operator timetables for Horarios do Funchal, Rodoeste and CAM. See Madeira by bus.
