Winters in the highlands can get as cold as 35-40° F (2-4° C) at elevation, but the coasts rarely fall below 45° F (7° C) at night with daily highs remaining at about 60° F (16° C). Only the high mountains receive snow, but in these places the snow can remain for a couple months.
Springs and falls (autumns) again vary based on elevation, but generally remain on the warm and temperate side, with some regions, particularly in the north getting significant amounts of rainfall.
Wildlife
Porto
Portugal has a number of mammal species, both large and small; the goat, pig, and deer are common while smaller animals, such as the fox and rabbit can also be found. Fish life is also common, including shellfish and sardines, both of which are common just off the coast in the Atlantic Ocean.
Like neighboring Spain, the bird variety that lives in or pass through Portugal is incredible as birds fly along the Atlantic Coast and regularly stop or settle in the country depending on the season.
