What is the average rainfall in Portugal?

Dear Blanca,
I’m currently planning a trip to Ahlen, NW in Germany, but the rain there has me worried. So I thought, why not travel to Portugal instead? I’m curious to learn, what is the average rainfall in Portugal?

Dear Enda,

Portugal’s oceanside location and varied topography result in an average rainfall of 58-84 inches each year. The east and north of the country experience the highest precipitation levels with 64-84 inches annually, while the central region averages 58-70 inches per year. On the coast, you can expect 32 inches of rainfall.

Rainfall Facts:
•Average Annual Rainfall: 64-84 inches (Highest)
•Central:58-70 inches
•Coast: 32 inches

However, despite these differences, keep in mind that showers are frequent all year round!

Hope this helps with your planning. Enjoy your trip to Portugal!

All the best,
Blanca Valbuena.
