Portugal Snapshot

Good news - Portugal is one of the warmest European countries. Yearly temperature averages are about 15°C (55°F) in the north and 18°C (64°F) in the south. Spring and summer months are usually warm and sunny, with July and August averaging maximums between 35°C and 40°C (86°F - 95°F) in the interior of the country, 30°C and 35°C in the north and occasionally 45°C (113°F) in the south. The months of May, June and September are considered some of the best times to see Portugal as the weather is usually fine (yet not too hot) and the attractions are less crowded than during the peak months of July and August. Autumn and winter are typically rainy and windy, yet sunny days aren't rare either.
