Leiria sits along the Lis River between the Pinhal de Leiria pine forest and the central Portuguese coast, giving it a moderate Atlantic climate that is wetter than Lisbon but drier than the far north. Winter storms occasionally raise the Lis enough to affect low riverside areas near the historic castle. IPMA’s central-region radar covers Leiria as part of its coastal monitoring network.
