The climate of Lagos (Portugal)
Lagos is a popular seaside resort. It owes its popularity to the Warm
Gulfstream that passes Lagos. Because of the Gulfstream summers are
pleasant and winters are mild. This effect is amplified by the
Monchique mountain range north of Lagos. The constant sea wind causes
temperatures to be slightly lower here than in the interior. This
picturesque village is surrounded by an 800 year old city wall which
is completely intact. The beautiful white beaches in combination with
red rocks cause these beaches to be among the most beautiful in
Europe. This part of Portugal is also known as Costa d’Oiro which
means Golden Coast. The beaches and the sea here are also very popular
among snorkelers. In the vicinity of Lagos several golf courses can be
found.

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:
