Home to Porto’s international airport, Maia sees rainfall totals close to the rest of the Porto metropolitan area, among the highest in mainland Portugal, with a pronounced wet season from October to March. Low visibility and heavy rain during frontal passages are routine considerations for the airport and surrounding logistics hubs. IPMA’s Porto radar station provides continuous coverage of the area.
