Escape Winter: 15 Places in Europe Milder Than Lisbon

January nights warmer than Lisbon's: 15 places in Europe, from Palma's 48°F to El Hierro's 63°F, against Lisbon's 47°F on 30-year averages. Free printable, by email: The Italy Visa Checklist: https://europewithclaire.com/warm?s=d The countdown follows one measure: the average nightly low in January, 1991-2020, from each country's official climate averages, against Lisbon's city-center station. Spain's and Italy's figures are the ones they filed with the World Meteorological Organization. Portugal's come from its weather service (IPMA), and Greece's from its national weather service (HNMS). Thirty stations beat Lisbon and five tie; none in France, Croatia or Montenegro, and the Algarve, the Costa del Sol, Valencia, Athens and Nice all fall short. The fifteen places are in Southern Europe and on its Atlantic islands; the Canaries, Madeira and the Azores count as Europe here (Spanish and Portuguese territory). Malta has no 1991-2020 average we could open and is not ranked. Most stations sit at airports, capes or lighthouses, and afternoons, February and summer heat are said place by place. The °F conversions, margins, distances and rankings are our own calculations.
