CLIMATE
Portugal is defined as a Mediterranean climate and is one of the warmest European countries. Annual average rainfall in the mainland varies from just over 3,000 mm in the northern mountains to less than 300 mm in the area of the Massueime River.

RIVERS
The five main rivers in Portugal are: Mondego, Tejo, Minho, Guadiana and Sado. Sado is the only river in Portugal, which flows north.
