Portugal has the same climate as the western coast of the United States in particular the State of California. Weather is dry and temperatures are mild all year round.
Due to geography of the country featuring several ranges of mountains which run parallel to the coast and wide plains south and east of Lisbon the weather has some particular features that visitors should be aware, such as being cool and breezy on the coast and dry and hot inland. In winter inland regions register a more drastic drop of temperature while on the coast the fall of temperature tends to be mild.
Spring and fall are the best time to visit Portugal. Temperatures vary between 59 and 79 degrees and there are not too many tourists around.
Summer brings hot and dry weather all over the country. On the coast there is always a nice breeze which allows for a very pleasant weather but sometimes cold and foggy evenings. The exception is the Algarve coast with usually dry and warm summer evenings. Summer is also the busiest tourist season, especially in the south of the county, beach resorts and Lisbon.
Winter is also a good time to visit Portugal, namely around Christmas time and February where temperatures can still be mild with plenty of sunny days. The north and inland are quiet cold but with few or none snow spells.
