In a week's time I'm going to be setting off to sail on a tall ship from
Gibraltar to Madeira. I have no idea what the weather is likely to be,
except vague tourist-friendly spiel about the lovely weather on the island
itself.

Can anyone recommend somewhere that I might find out typical (or even
forecast, now we're getting closer) conditions for that part of the
Atlantic, both day and night. I want to work out what clothes to pack.

I realise this isn't a "scientific" question, so apologies if it falls
totally outside the bounds of the group.

Thanks,

Pete

At top or bottom of this information page you can Insert LXGB for Gib, LPFU
for Funchal Maderia or any other ICAO for the world. I hope it works OK for
you. I'm not sure how accurate it is and of course it is the output of one
model only.
Remember this is for a grid point, which will probably not refelect local
winds to lee of the mountains etc.
