Climate

Mora is situated at 58 m height near the river Sorraia. It has mild, humid winters but warm to hot and very dry summers. The meteorological station is situated at 120 m height and therefore shows slightly lower temperatures than measured in Mora proper. Nevertheless, on the 29 June 2025 it registered 46.6 degrees Celsius, a new Portuguese record for the month of June eclipsing the 45.4 C which was reached in Alvega just a day before. This value also meant a new Iberian record, beating the recent record of El Granado in Spain (a couple of metres from the Spanish/Portuguese border) of 46.0 C just a day earlier representing a new European heat record for June.
