The weather in Portugal in June and July should be perfect for relaxing on the beach, a round of golf and watching
football. For playing football the conditions will be hot with temperatures
above 26 degrees Centigrade in most parts of the country and organizers,
coaches and players alike will be hoping there is no repeat of the
scorching heat and subsequent disruptive forest fires of summer
2003.
Average maximum temperatures in Lisbon are 26 and 27 degrees Centigrade in June and July, 25 degrees Centigrade in Porto and 28 degrees Centigrade in the Algarve, though daytime temperatures usually rise to above 30 degrees Centigrade.
Rainfall is usually at a minimum except for the occasional shower in the north. As a whole the country enjoys cooling breezes from the Atlantic.
Southern Portugal and the Algarve can suffer from summer drought with occasional heavy thunderstorms. Temperatures may rise to around 30 degrees Centigrade plus in August and care should be taken to avoid exposure to the mid-day sun.
Look forward to near perfect weather in the Lisbon area with little chance of rain and cool evening breezes, though the Atlantic resorts may still be a little cool for swimming. Average rainfall in July is a mere 3mm.
LISBON WEATHERThere's the possibility of some light rain even in the summer months of June and July with average rainfall in July in the region of 20mm.
OPORTO WEATHERNo need for an umbrella as the south basks in unremitting
sunshine and the sea feels considerably warmer.
No more than an average of 1mm of rain in July.
