Portugal's islands have a mild oceanic climate, with green landscapes through the year and most rain in winter, so the outlook changes with the season. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words, so a few phrases help.
