Azores climate overview
The Azores is an archipelago consisting of nine volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is an autonomous region of Portugal, known for its subtropical climate that promises ambient weather all year round.
The islands, while rugged and mountainous at their core, are hemmed with platinum beaches. People visit to enjoy sun and sea as well as nature, wildlife and activities such as walking up Mount Pico, the highest point in Portugal.
These mountainous islands are part of Portugal and they make a good retreat for those who hate extremes of temperature: summers are warm and sunny but never uncomfortably hot, while winters are mild but wet.
What to pack for Azores
Take light clothing with warm cover-ups tor the summer months and medium to warm clothing for the winter months.
