Trend Summary
After a stretch of dry, mild weather through the end of December, temperatures remain near normal but trend slightly cooler by New Year’s Eve, with the coldest night expected around 1 January. A dry pattern dominates through 30 December, giving way to increasing cloudiness and light rain by 2 January. The period from 5 to 7 January brings a shift to wetter and windier conditions, with moderate drizzle and gusts over 80 km/h on the 6th. Despite higher rainfall totals, precipitation probability remains low due to prolonged light intensity rather than heavy bursts. No snow is indicated at sea level. The wet period ends by 8 January, with a return to drier and more stable conditions.
Frost cannot be ruled out on clear nights, particularly inland on 31 December and 4 January, though coastal areas like Póvoa de Varzim will likely stay above freezing. Any precipitation during colder nights will be rain, with no accumulation expected.
Model guidance shows high consistency in temperature and precipitation trends over the last 6 hours, with minor fluctuations in early-January rainfall amounts. Confidence is high through 3 January; beyond that, timing and intensity of the wet period are somewhat uncertain, though the overall pattern shift is well supported.
Practical notes:
- 25–30 December: Excellent conditions for outdoor holiday activities.
- 31 December: Cool evening; warm layers recommended for celebrations.
- 2–7 January: Carry rain gear and expect damp, blustery conditions.
- 4 January: Coldest morning; protect sensitive plants if inland.
- No snow or ice expected at sea level.
