With its mild climate and occasional rain in the months of June and July, the Azores provide a green backdrop for most photos.The average temperature in the summer ranges between 22°C – 26°C. As it rains more frequently with heavier winds in the winter, I expected to see homes furnished with a fire place to fight off the dampness. I was told by a Flemish woman, who had recently moved there from Belgium, there is no need for a fire place as the winter temps only drop to 18° C – 22°C. Moist and green, a heaven for vegetation and animal life – this is how I would describe the Azores.
