How real is it in Portugal nowadays... Unfortunately, the climate is changing all over the world, here too. It is a fact that the Sun is not missing neither in winter nor in summer, but the difference of temperatures is even worse.
Winter nights still are icy when days are warm, in summer the nights are cool but days hellishly hot.
Of course, it all depends on the region. Looking for a temperate climate it is better to go north to Porto or to the Douro River. Although for the guarantee of good weather it is better to choose Madeira or the Azores.
Different situation is deep into the continent - In Alentejo the air gets dry and even tropical. It's hard to stay there in summer, except in the ocean.
