Re: Idea on where to live?
Ya I wouldn’t be interested if the climate was like that.
I thought it would be a much more sun friendly climate year round throughout Portugal so I’m surprised and glad to have found this out.
Is Algarve much warmer location than Porto?
How do you mean noticeable gulf in standard of living?

Porto has a very UK style climate. This time of year still very wet and definitely cold at night
I'm surprised by this.
How far south of Porto would you need to go to get a significantly better climate?

Sure there’s more rain in the north but that’s why it’s green, temperature wise there’s a 2 degree anual average difference between Porto and Faro. There’s 90 days of rain in Faro and 147 in Porto. As for comparing to the UK, there’s 2500 hours of sunshine per year in Porto and 1300 in Manchester.
