What you’re looking at

São Roque is a residential hillside north of the city centre, and the camera looks south from there straight down over Funchal to the sea. The frame takes in the cathedral tower and old town on the left, Santa Catarina park and the harbour in the middle, and the hotel zone stretching west towards the Lido. Because the camera is above the rooftops but below the mountain cloud line, it gives the best sense of the layered geography that a street-level camera cannot show.

Best time to check this camera

Use this one when you want to know whether the cloud is sitting on the city or above it. On a typical summer day the view is crisp until late morning, then a soft haze forms over the bay. Sunset light from this angle is exceptional because it rakes across the whole hillside. If you are deciding whether to take the Monte cable car, this camera and the Palheiro Golf feed together tell you whether the top will be in cloud.

Is cloud sitting on the hills above Funchal?

If the view is clear:: Monte, the Botanical Garden and the levada do Bom Sucesso are all in the clear.
If it’s grey or rough:: Stay at sea level, the hill suburbs are usually in the cloud base.

Questions about this camera

Is the São Roque webcam a good way to check Funchal's weather?

It is one of the best, because the elevated angle shows both the coastline and the cloud line on the hills behind the city in a single frame. If cloud is visibly below the top of the frame, the higher viewpoints such as Monte and Pico dos Barcelos are likely to be misted in even though the seafront is sunny.

What landmarks are visible from the São Roque camera?

Funchal cathedral and the old town, Santa Catarina park, the cruise harbour and marina, and the hotel zone running west along the coast, all with the amphitheatre of hills behind them.
