In Porto, in that northern part of Portugal, that area up there, in the winter it gets really cold. And if you're on the coast, the wind blows and it'll really cut through, if you just have a regular shirt. It gets cold and the rain's really intense. Like, the rain won't go straight down, it'll go sideways.
Especially if you're near the coast anywhere, it's not anywhere near as dynamic of a climate as you would find in maybe, you know, random parts of America. You know, so Lisbon, it's not usually going to get as hot as it gets here in America and it's not usually going to get anywhere near as cold as it does in a lot of parts of America. However, I will say the farther you go kind of like to the interior of the country, there's a town I was in called Beja for about four and a half months and I was in there in August and I will say the farther you get towards the interior, it gets really hot in the summer. I remember, I mean, probably, you know, north of 100 degrees for sure. I remember we left a, we had one of those LCD thermometers and we left one outside because it had a temperature thing on it to see how hot it was going to be for about five minutes and we came back out and the screen had turned solid black because of the strength of the sun and how hot it was. So it gets really hot in there.
The weather in Portugal is pretty, like, it's humid, there's moisture, it's on the coast, so there was some days that it was a really crazy storm. There was just this insane storm and there was rain gushing all over the place and it was almost like a flash flood.
So during the day, it was so hot, it would be like 80 degrees, but at night, you better bring your coat or jacket with you, because it would be so cold for your personal hygiene.
