Landscape: Continental Portugal is mountainous north of the Tagus River, with plains to the south; the highest point of the national territory is the top of Mt. Pico, located on Pico island in the Azores archipelago.

Climate: Continental Portugal is located between latitudes 37° and 42° north, with the Summer influenced by air masses associated with the tropical anticyclone of the Azores, which brings dry and stable weather, and in Winter influenced by air masses from the frontal systems of the middle latitudes low areas which bring unstable and rainy weather. Average annual temperatures don't exceed 17°-18° c. in the south of the continent, nor go below 13°-14° c. (that's very comfortable living!!!) in the northern part.
