August in Setúbal, Portugal, brings average daily highs of 28°C and overnight lows of 18°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Light clothing is a useful starting point, with room in the plan to pause indoors. Decide how much walking to fit into each day using the local forecast, rather than treating the monthly average as a limit.
In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on <1 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 1%. Rain has been relatively infrequent in this record, which leaves more scope for an outdoor plan. Still keep an alternative for a wet day: a low monthly average cannot tell you when the rain will arrive.
The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 14 hours. Sunshine averages 13 hours a day. The longer daylight window gives you more choice about when to be outside; it does not mean every part of the day will be sunny. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.
For nature trips or walks, keep the longest outings movable and check route conditions locally; a monthly climate average cannot establish whether a particular path is accessible. If the coast is part of your plan, check water conditions separately. Air temperature and sunshine do not establish swimming conditions, surf quality or diving visibility.
September has an average daily high of 26°C, 2°C lower than August. Its historical rain-day chance is 11%, compared with 1% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
