Portugal Weather Patterns
Portugal weather patterns are considered Mediterranean and that means the country is one of the warmest in Europe. Yearly temperatures average 55°F in the north and 64°F in the south. The Azores and Madeira are warmer. Madeira is very dry throughout the year, but the Azores receive a lot of rain when it is compared to other parts of the country. Spring and summer temperatures range from 86°F to 95°F in the middle of the country, and 70°F to 80°F in the north. The fall and winter months are windy and rainy, but there are still plenty of sunny days to enjoy. Temperatures stay around 41°F to 50°F during those months, but it gets colder inland. Snow is common in the northern mountains during the colder months, but it tends to melt quickly as spring approaches.
