Weather forecast for the Camino Portugués Central in March

The weather is usually mild on the Camino Portugués, which goes through Lisboa and Porto in Portugal, and Galicia in Spain. You can expect a mix of sunny, cloudy, and rainy days. Rain is more likely at the beginning of the trip.

In Lisboa, expect some sunshine and some rain. It isn't usually very heavy rain. The normal temperatures are between 10°C and 16°C. As you travel north, you'll likely still see some of both sun and clouds, and there may still be showers.

The weather is about the same from Alpriate to Porto. You'll see sun, clouds, and possibly some light rain. The normal high temperature is 16°C to 18°C. The normal low temperature is 7°C to 9°C. The average amount of rain changes a little but is usually under 4 mm.

As you enter Galicia, Spain from Tui to Santiago de Compostela, it gets a bit colder. The normal low temperature goes down to 5°C to 7°C. The high temperatures are still in the mid-teens. The weather can change more often here, with more frequent moderate or heavy showers. You'll still see plenty of sun or partly cloudy days. The amount of rain can go up to 6.5 mm some days.

This overview is for an early March start, walking the standard stages.
But, I'll be happy to make one specifically for this forecast.
