Field notes
Milder year-round than Lisbon — winters cap with peaks of 16–17°C, summers peak around 25°C. Reliable sun (~3000 hours/year, among the highest in Europe). Wet winters (December–February, 3 mm/day average) but no real cold. Best windows are the shoulders before the July–August domestic-tourism wave.
