      @@gkappliances7867 Hi there, I'd continue to check the guidelines, as they change all the time, particularly with the UK Gov, but when we came you didn't need antigen tests taken upon arrival at the airport for fully vaccinated. In any case you get offered one free test by the Madeiran Government when you arrive (or) leave here for anyone who requires it. Weather wise, in the last month we've had a mix of rain, storms and very warm sunny weather, so I's bring a provision for that. Having said that we travel with only cabin under seat bags and so have spring like clothes (t shirt and shorts and light trousers) and 1 warm jumper and a raincoat and it's been fine.
