When to Elope in the Azores
The weather is pretty great year round, but there are different experiences you can have in different seasons! Here’s what you need to know to set a date for your Azores elopement.
WINTER IN the Azores
Winters are pretty mild, so you can definitely have an Azores elopement this time of year. But, there is more rain, and there are more cloudy days! If you’re hiking, you can expect some mud on the trails. The ocean will also be a little more wild, so it’s not a good time for swimming or other water activities. This is the least popular time for tourism, though, so you can get more privacy!
SPRING IN the Azores
Spring is warmer than winter, and there is much less rain – although you’ll occasionally see some drizzle and cloudy skies. The landscapes are beautiful this time of year, lush and green and full of wildflowers because of the winter rains! This is the best time to go whale watching, because the whales come through the Azores on their migration each year.
SUMMER IN the Azores
Summer is the most popular time to visit the Azores, because it’s usually sunny and warm the entire season! There’s little to no rain, and this is the warmest time of year, so it’s perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. There will be more people around, but it’s usually still pretty easy to find a secluded spot!
FALL IN the Azores
Fall is another great time for an Azores elopement. It’s still warm, but the sun does hide behind clouds often. There is a higher chance of rain, so there are fewer people around!
