Portugal is a year-round skydiving destination with no worst months on record. The Algarve region around Portimão benefits from over 300 sunny days annually, and the Alentejo plains near Évora see minimal cloud cover even in winter. Summer months (June to September) offer the warmest ground temperatures, making post-landing comfort noticeably better.
