A wine-producing town on the slopes of the Arrabida range south of Lisbon, Palmela sees rainfall shaped by the same hills that give the Setubal district its own micro-climate, wetter on the upper slopes than on the plain below. Winters are mild and wet, summers dry, in keeping with the wider Lisbon-Setubal Atlantic pattern. IPMA radar covers the district from its Lisbon-region station.
