The quality of weather forecasts in the Azores is a frequently discussed topic – and for good reason. Weather trends over the Azores are largely determined by the large-scale circulation patterns over the North Atlantic. Due to their location in the middle of the Atlantic, approximately 1.500 kilometers west of the European mainland, the Azores are particularly exposed to changing weather patterns. The archipelago lies in the transition zone between subtropical high-pressure systems and Atlantic low-pressure systems. This results in highly dynamic weather – often within a few hours.

How reliable is the weather forecast for the Azores?

---

• Short-term (1–2 days): Relatively reliable. Forecasts generally match the actual weather, especially regarding temperatures and precipitation probability.
• Medium term (3–5 days): Fluctuating. Significant deviations may occur, especially in rain or wind.
• Long-term (6+ days): Not very precise. The dynamic nature of the weather in this region makes long-term forecasts uncertain.
