Climate chart - Peniche
The climate of Peniche is oceanic, with mild, rainy winters and cool, sunny summers.
The city is located on the coast of Portugal to the north-west of Lisbon, in a small peninsula that makes it particularly exposed to sea winds, and therefore particularly mild in winter, but also particularly cool and windy in summer. In fact, the temperature in summer remains very cool, around 20/21 °C (68/70 °F). Because of the waves generated by the wind, the area is frequented by surfers.
In winter, very cold days are rare, however, sometimes the minimum can drop to around freezing. The cold records are around -1/-2 °C (28/30 °F).
In summer, the temperature rarely reaches 25 °C (77 °F). However, it can sometimes reach 30 °C (86 °F), from May to September, perhaps for just one day. In June 1981, it reached 30 °C (86 °F) while in Lisbon it reached 41.5 °C (106.5 °F).
The average temperature of the coldest month (January) is of 11.9 °C (53 °F), that of the warmest month (July) is of 19.1 °C (66 °F). Here are the average temperatures at Cabo Carvoeiro, on the western tip, where the lighthouse is located.
