Evora Climate

Famed for its hot countryside weather and its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Evora’s weather and climate is undoubtedly part of the great appeal this beautiful location has.

Spring and summer boast this city’s highest temperatures, leading to an increase of 11 to 14 hours of sunlight per day. Between March and May, 10ºC will rise to a little over 20ºC. Be sure to explore the beauty of this blossoming season while in this picturesque city. Make an appearance at the S. João Fair, the most popular folk event in the Alentejo region. The gastronomy, crafts and music will last until the beginning of June - the start of the summer season.

Being the hottest of all seasons, the hours of sunlight rise to 15 hours a day and temperatures will commonly reach a high of 30ºC. The month of August is particularly hot in Evora, so wearing light clothing, hats and some sun protection should all be taken into consideration. Nevertheless, travellers can make the best of the sunny weather and indulge in the true Alentejo experience.

Visiting the Almendres Cromeleque is great for fans of the heat, although cooling off while visiting the city’s acclaimed churches and cathedrals are great options too. Sipping on a cold beverage at the Praça do Giraldo (Giraldo Square) is a pleasure during these hot afternoons.

Temperatures will gradually drop from September to December, as well as the number of sunlight hours. With an average of 20ºC lowering to an average of 10ºC, the climate will get noticeably colder. However, indulging in long hours of dining at a cosy restaurant, wandering the intimate city centre, visiting souvenir shops, as well as drinking a glass of regional red wine to warm you up will be any travellers’ perfect holiday plan.
