Latest Portugal May temperature record: Portugal reached a May high of 40.3°C in Mora, surpassing the previous May record of about 40.0°C, marking a new May heat record for the country. This occurred as a broader European heatwave persisted into late May, with several other countries experiencing extreme temperatures during the period.[1]
Key points:
- The May 2026 record stands at 40.3°C in Mora (Evora district).[1]
- Previous May record was around 40.0°C set in 2001.[1]
- The heatwave affected multiple Western European regions, contributing to unusually early-season heat in Portugal.[1]
