Key Messages

  • Clouds will build quickly through early morning, but no rain is expected.
  • Temperatures will stay near 9°C through midday, then slowly rise to around 11°C by early afternoon.
  • Winds will remain breezy at times, especially before sunrise, with gusts up to 40 km/h—secure loose outdoor items if needed.

Current Conditions & Near-Term Outlook

As of 05:20 UTC, skies over Vila Nova de Gaia are partly cloudy with temperatures around 9°C and light winds. Over the next few hours, cloud cover will increase rapidly—by 08:00, the sky will be mostly overcast. Despite the thick clouds, no rain is expected. The air will feel cool, with wet-bulb temperatures near 5–6°C, but surfaces remain dry. Winds will stay noticeable through early morning, with gusts near 40 km/h tapering slightly by late morning. There is no indication of precipitation in any model run over the next 12 hours, and confidence in dry conditions remains high.

Temperatures will hold steady near 9°C through mid-morning, then begin a gradual rise. By noon, readings will reach 11°C under mostly cloudy to partly cloudy skies. The afternoon will bring some breaks in the clouds, especially between 14:00 and 16:00, when sunshine may appear briefly. A very small chance of a light shower is noted in one model time step (15% at 15:00), but this is not consistent across runs and cannot be confirmed. The most likely outcome remains dry weather.

Tonight/Tomorrow Morning

After sunset, temperatures will begin to fall. By 20:00, readings will drop to 7°C under clearing skies. Overnight into Friday, conditions will remain dry with variable cloudiness. Lows are expected to reach around 6–7°C by dawn, with no risk of freezing. No weather impacts are anticipated for travel or outdoor activities.
