Any one in or near Porto at the moment? I am starting there on Monday and would like to know what the weather is like at the moment?

Thanks so much!
I've been looking at the forecast on my phone the entire month. just wasn't sure what 16° / 17° "feels like" when you're there.
Each region has its own temperature and temperament ... you know?
Buen Camino xx

I was there two weeks ago walking southward to Lisbon and I can tell you that 16 or 17 is colder than you think it is especially with the wind. The whole way down the weather was schizo—just the other day for instance I changed from shorts to long pants 4 times in a single day. When the sun is out it is hot enough to go in a t-shirt but that can change quicky. I’m outside Lisbon now and it is 20 degrees but it’s windy so I am wearing shorts, T-shirt with a long sleeve shirt on top and a down vest on top of it. 20 degrees in London I would be wearing a t-shirt and I don’t typically get cold. When it’s raining it’s actually freezing at those temperatures. And at night it is cold. Portuguese albergues unlike Galician ones do not have heating. Be prepared to layer and remove constantly. Again I tend to run hot so I have been surprised at how cold it can be at times especially with the rain. Hope this helps.

I’ve spent the last nine days Porto to Teo, with temps averaging 15-19° and I’ve gotten by consistently with merino leggings, t-shirt and fleece. Haven’t taken my puffer out once. Have been a little warm a few times…feels very moderate, even when wet/rainy.

I find that even if the sun is shining here i kept my jacket on.
But it was beautiful walking weather!
Buen Camino!

Agreed…lightweight, wicking long sleeve over t-shirt has been perfect.
