Weather Overview for Lagos

Located in the Algarve region at the south westernmost point of Europe, Lagos is one of Portugal’s most renowned and sunniest tourist destinations. Lagos typically has a warm climate with very sunny spring and summers days commonly seeing temperatures of 30ºC or higher and mild but wet and windy winters with average temperatures of approximately 12ºC.

If you’re a tourist searching for an ideal location with extravagant beaches and some of Europe’s finest weather year round, then Lagos may just be the perfect holiday for you. Alike the majority of the Algarve region, Lagos features over 3000 hours of warm uninterrupted sunshine every year and with a flight time less than three hours from the UK it’s no surprise that many holiday makers from the UK flee to Lagos throughout the chilly winters experienced further north. Average climates in Lagos will typically reach highs beyond 30ºC throughout the warmest months of July and August, while the climates throughout the winter linger at 17ºC creating an ideal vacation for year round sunshine and warmth.

Summer

The extensive hot summer in Lagos is perfect from worshippers of everlasting dry sunshine. The widespread summers in Lagos extend from May right through until October and you can be assured that the average climate throughout these months will never drop below 20ºC. From the months of June until August around twelve hours of hot sunshine can be expected everyday as the climate climbs towards the 30ºC mark and even higher. Soothing breezing sweeping inland from the Atlantic will glide in throughout the day time bringing a relief to the sometimes unbearable heat. The water climates during the summertime are ideal for swimming and all water sport lesuires. Nightfall is particularly pleasant during the months of summer, always bringing a mild breeze in the Lagos area.

Winter

As the overall weather will commonly turn very cold in the UK, it is still possible to achieve a golden tan by taking a vacation to the sunny coast of Lagos. Average climates during the winter months will typically stay around 17ºC and you can be assured at least six hours of warm sunshine per day. Rainfall is still quite uncommon throughout the winter months and any rainfall experienced will come in forms of brisk showers and is typically very short-lived.

Spring and Autumn

The months of spring and autumn are very pleasant in Lagos and if you want to beat the crowds is definitely an ideal time to holiday. As temperatures are still over the 20ºC and the sun shining down brightly for approximately ten hours per day, the characteristic weather of Lagos is perfect for a holiday at any time of the year.
