Olá Rainer.
The weather forecast, it is just a forecast information, nothing more. It can change.
Yes, climate changes, this year it was a very hot unusual summer from July to September like 40º Celcius.
The best expected weather to do the caminho Portugues is May, Jun, September and October.
Please understand, that as long you walk north the temperature is lower than south and some rain.
But you will never know, and that is what the caminho is all about.
Bom Caminho

Olá Mario, sim, o tempo muda. Yes, weather forecast is just an information for the next period of x-days. I remember May two years ago with heavy rain on some days. Foi horrivel. May last year was warm. May this year was a bit on the cool side. Comprei um casaco de lã em Porto. Well, the north is always a bit cooler and rainy than the south. I know all parts of Portugal. Every year I work as hospitaleiro in Angeiras. In the seventies I used to live in Beja and we had hot summers there, up to 45º C. Btw. I always say I don´t speak Portuguese, so Alentejano, sabes?

Bom caminho, Rainer
