08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
July is hot, dry and crowded, with afternoons around 28 °C and heat waves above 35 °C in some years, NOS Alive at Algés in the second week drawing festival-goers, the trams packed and the Atlantic breeze the only relief. Sintra queues are long. It is the busiest month alongside August, with the highest hotel rates. Start days early and head to the coast in the afternoon. Rain is rare, about one day.
The Jazz em Agosto at the Gulbenkian follows; July brings the Super Bock Super Rock festival. The sea is around 19 °C and the Costa da Caparica beaches are the escape. Daylight lasts until after eight thirty. For the hottest month with Assumption and the local closures, see August.
