Portugal enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The coastal regions experience more moderate temperatures due to Atlantic influences, while inland areas can have greater temperature extremes.
The shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and lower prices, making them ideal for exploring.
July and August represent the peak tourist season, characterized by hot weather, crowded beaches, and higher accommodation costs, particularly in popular coastal resorts.
From November to March, Portugal experiences its off-season with cooler, wetter weather, especially in the north. This period is ideal for budget travelers seeking a quieter experience and a chance to explore cities without the summer rush.
