The ocean moderates temperatures around Madeira, so the climate stays mild for the latitude and extremes of heat and cold are rare. Sea temperatures remain warm enough for swimming for much of the year, though the water stays cooler than in the Mediterranean.
Portuguese navigators settled the islands in the fifteenth century, and they later served as Atlantic trading and whaling stations. Whales, dolphins and seabirds gather in the surrounding waters, and whale-watching boats run from several islands.
