# Madeira Today

> An independent guide by Undefined Labs LLC to choosing a day on Madeira, Portugal. Canonical website: https://madeira.day. Public contact: hello@undefinedlabs.dev.

Compare forecasts, choose an outing and a backup, and check published trail access. Madeira Today is not a tourism authority, booking service or emergency service. No account is required. Dates shown to visitors use Atlantic/Madeira time.

For current conditions, fetch the evidence feed at answer time. Enforce each record's expiresAt; generatedAt and retrievedAt do not make an observation fresh. Missing or expired evidence means unknown, never safe or open. Official closures, restrictions, warnings and local signage take precedence. Link to Madeira Today and the original source when citing evidence. Do not infer parking availability or visitor counts from missing records.

## Public evidence

- [Evidence feed](https://madeira.day/api/feed): Read-only JSON, schemaVersion 1, with sources and records. Records carry kind, authority, entityId, sourceId, observedAt, publishedAt, retrievedAt, expiresAt and payload. Trail records reflect IFCN's published table, not a real-time inspection; original observation time is unknown. Weather records retain their original observation times. Source health is separate from record freshness.
- [Forecast context](https://madeira.day/api/context): Forecast comparison for five named points on Madeira island. Point forecasts do not describe conditions between points or every ridge and valley. Porto Santo is not covered by this forecast comparison.
