Another Relatively Wet and Cool Spring in Portugal

The drought we had in Portugal during the winter months is now definitely a thing of the past. We've had a relatively cool and wet spring, and June has been no exception. The weather has been unusually grey, and the forecast is for this to continue for a while still.

However, this is the third or fourth year in a row with this pattern, so it's starting to become more of a norm than an exception. I had no trouble predicting this weather back in January and March.

It increasingly looks like we're getting the weather patterns associated with more northerly regions, which is fine with me. I prefer winters to be dry and sunny over wet and miserable, and I don't mind trading this benefit with cooler and wetter weather during spring and summer.
