Évora in September
Great time to visit
September delivers summer warmth without summer's punishment. The harvest season adds energy to the countryside, and you can actually enjoy walking Évora's streets during daylight hours again.
Weather
September brings blessed relief as temperatures start dropping to more civilized levels. The oppressive heat breaks, though it's still properly warm. Occasional light rains return, clearing the dust and freshening the air.

All Months
April through June gives you perfect weather and wildflowers covering the plains. Temperatures sit in the comfortable 20s, and you can walk all day without melting. September and October work just as well, with harvest season adding energy to the countryside.
July and August turn Évora into an oven. Temperatures regularly hit 40°C, and those cobblestones become foot-burning surfaces by noon. If you must visit in summer, start early and take long afternoon breaks.
Winter brings rain and surprisingly cold nights, but also solitude. The Roman Temple looks dramatic under grey skies, and restaurant fireplaces actually get used. Just pack layers — Alentejo winters are drier than the coast but still chilly.
