The climate of Coimbra (Portugal)
Coimbra is known as a student city. One of the oldest universities in
Europe can be found here. This university was founded in 1290 in
Lisbon and moved to Coimbra a few years later. Because of the many
students that live here the nightlife of Coimbra can be described as
exhilarating. Many small cafes and large clubs can be found here. The
fado became popular here and can still be enjoyed in one of the many
fado houses. Coimbra is the third largest city of Portugal after Porto
and Lisbon. Coimbra has a moderate maritime climate influenced by the
Atlantic Ocean. Because of this influence extremes in weather are
uncommon. Temperatures below 3 degrees Celsius or above 35 degrees
Celsius are uncommon. This pleasant climate makes this suitable as a
holiday destination all year round.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
