In the north winters are cold and rainy with highs averaging between 35 F and 45 F depending on location. Lows can dip below freezing but only in the extreme north or mountains. Summers in the north can be warm to hot, depending on the year with highs around 75 F to 80 F and lows in the 60’s. The only place that gets snow in Portugal is in the mountains and we even have one ski area.
