How It Works
- Why is Funchal Airport risky for flights?
- Funchal Airport sits between cliffs and the ocean. When wind blows across the runway, planes struggle to land safely. We check how often this happens.
- How do you calculate the disruption risk?
- We look at 10 years of hourly weather data and count how many hours had winds strong enough to cause delays (gusts over 50 km/h) or cancellations (gusts over 74 km/h, or crosswind over 70 km/h). We also factor in low visibility and fog — Funchal frequently gets foggy conditions that prevent landings even in calm winds.
- Where does the forecast data come from?
- For dates within 16 days we use real forecast data. For dates further out we show the historical average for that week of the year.
- What should I do if my flight is cancelled or diverted?
- Stay calm, head to your airline's counter, and keep all receipts. We wrote a detailed guide covering all scenarios. Read the full guide
