See how rare negative averages are

Why would that be though? Winter maximums are comparable, as is sunshine. But it's the supposedly more Oceanic climate, that gets the colder minimums.

Are fogs common in Portugal during winter?

Another pleasant climate. Lots of decent climates in Portugal and Spain. Of course they're warmer and sunnier than ideal, but they're not bad at all.

C+ Overall not bad but certainly nowhere near the best Portugal has to offer.

bump, just because it's such an awesome weather, I think it's my new favourite, after some serious reflection.
December is 10 times as wet as July !!!, what a beauty

Hmmm C from me. I like the summer temps but winters are too mild. Precipitation is nice except July and August.

Something doesn't add up. I'm not saying the statistics are wrong, just there must be other factors at play.

Probably the topography of the mountains make a difference in letting mild air in.

Not bad, but average lows in summer are too cold

Temperatures seem pretty good. A bit too wet, though. I'll give it a B.

D+. Too warm year round and too dry in summer.
