The town is located in central Portugal, 35 km (22 mi) from the ocean and 350 meters (1,150 feet) above sea level.

Here are the average temperatures.

Winter, from December to February, is mild, but also quite rainy. There are also several sunny days.
Very cold days are rare, although the night temperature can sometimes drop to freezing (0 °C or 32 °F) or a little below. Snow in Fátima is very rare, however, in January 2006, the sanctuary was covered with a white blanket.

Spring, from March to May, is mild; it's initially unstable and rainy in March, and gradually becomes more stable and sunny.

Summer, from June to August or mid-September, is hot and sunny; given the proximity to the ocean, summer is not as hot as in the cities that are located in the interior, near the border with Spain. Sometimes, however, it can get very hot, with highs about 35 °C (95 °F), and sometimes even 40 °C (104 °F).

Autumn, from mid-September to November, is initially warm and sunny, but it gradually becomes milder and wetter over the weeks.
