Regarded as the birthplace of Portugal, Guimaraes sits inland in the Braga district at a higher elevation than the coast, which gives it cooler, wetter winters than Lisbon and a noticeably shorter dry season. Rain here tends to arrive as prolonged, moderate frontal systems rather than short bursts. IPMA’s northern radar coverage extends across this part of the Minho region.
