===Climate=== Miranda do Douro has a warm-summer [[Mediterranean climate]] (''Csb''). Due to its inland location in the ''Nordeste Transmontano'', the area experiences extreme weather fluctuations. A common saying of the region goes: ''Em Miranda há nove meses de Inverno e três de Inferno ("In Miranda there are nine months of winter and three months of Hell")''.<ref name="Concelho">{{cite web|url=http://www.cm-mdouro.pt/concelho/|title=O Concelho|editor=Câmara Municipal|location=Miranda do Douro, Portugal|publisher=Câmara Municipal de Miranda do Douro|language=pt|access-date=10 May 2011|year=2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090623001214/http://www.cm-mdouro.pt/concelho/|archive-date=23 June 2009}}</ref> Summers tend to be dry and warm; while winters are rigorously cold with some snowfall,<ref name=Concelho/> having average minimum temperatures hovering around {{convert|0|C}} in January, and frequently falling negative, with 70 days of frost per year on average.<ref name="IPMA">{{cite web |url=http://www.ipma.pt/bin/file.data/climate-normal/cn_71-00_MIRANDA_DO_DOURO.pdf |title=Monthly Averages for Miranda do Douro (1971–2000)|publisher=Instituto de Meteorologia}}</ref> The summer is completely opposite: hot and dry with maximum temperatures hovering around {{convert|30|C}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cm-mdouro.pt/clima/|title=O Concelho: Clima|editor=Câmara Municipal|location=Miranda do Douro, Portugal|publisher=Câmara Municipal de Miranda do Douro|language=pt|access-date=10 May 2011|year=2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20110521054852/http%3A//www.cm%2Dmdouro.pt/clima/|archive-date=21 May 2011}}</ref> {{Weather box |location = Miranda do Douro, elevation: {{convert|693|m|abbr=on|disp=or}}, 1971-2000 normals and extremes |single line = Yes |metric first = Yes |Jan record high C = 16.5 |Feb record high C = 20.0 |Mar record high C = 23.8 |Apr record high C = 28.5 |May record high C = 31.4 |Jun record high C = 36.1 |Jul record high C = 39.4 |Aug record high C = 40.8 |Sep record high C = 38.6 |Oct record high C = 29.2 |Nov record high C = 23.2 |Dec record high C = 20.5 |year record high C = |Jan high C = 8.2 |Feb high C = 11.0 |Mar high C = 14.1 |Apr high C = 15.6 |May high C = 19.3 |Jun high C = 24.7 |Jul high C = 28.8 |Aug high C = 28.9 |Sep high C = 24.9 |Oct high C = 18.4 |Nov high C = 12.6 |Dec high C = 9.2 |year high C = |Jan mean C = 4.1 |Feb mean C = 6.1 |Mar mean C = 8.3 |Apr mean C = 10.0 |May mean C = 13.4 |Jun mean C = 17.9 |Jul mean C = 21.2 |Aug mean C = 21.1 |Sep mean C = 17.9 |Oct mean C = 12.7 |Nov mean C = 7.8 |Dec mean C = 5.4 |year mean C = |Jan low C = 0.0 |Feb low C = 1.1 |Mar low C = 2.5 |Apr low C = 4.4 |May low C = 7.6 |Jun low C = 11.1 |Jul low C = 13.5 |Aug low C = 13.4 |Sep low C = 11.0 |Oct low C = 7.2 |Nov low C = 3.1 |Dec low C = 1.5 |year low C = |Jan record low C = -12.3 |Feb record low C = −11.6 |Mar record low C = -13.2 |Apr record low C = -5.2 |May record low C = -3.4 |Jun record low C = 2.1 |Jul record low C = 5.1 |Aug record low C = 4.3 |Sep record low C = -0.2 |Oct record low C = -4.9 |Nov record low C = -6.0 |Dec record low C = -7.4 |year record low C = |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 62.9 |Feb rain mm = 54.2 |Mar rain mm = 29.9 |Apr rain mm = 56.4 |May rain mm = 59.3 |Jun rain mm = 35.9 |Jul rain mm = 16.3 |Aug rain mm = 14.4 |Sep rain mm = 33.8 |Oct rain mm = 60.5 |Nov rain mm = 61.7 |Dec rain mm = 76.4 |year rain mm = |Jan precipitation days = 11.3 |Feb precipitation days = 10.8 |Mar precipitation days = 8.6 |Apr precipitation days = 11.7 |May precipitation days = 11.0 |Jun precipitation days = 7.0 |Jul precipitation days = 4.0 |Aug precipitation days = 3.9 |Sep precipitation days = 5.8 |Oct precipitation days = 9.6 |Nov precipitation days = 8.8 |Dec precipitation days = 12.0 |year precipitation days = | Jan snow days = 1.1 | Feb snow days = 0.6 | Mar snow days = 0.5 | Apr snow days = 0.4 | May snow days = 0.1 | Jun snow days = 0 | Jul snow days = 0 | Aug snow days = 0 | Sep snow days = 0 | Oct snow days = 0 | Nov snow days = 0.1 | Dec snow days = 0.3 | year snow days = |Jan sun = 100.2 |Feb sun = 137.9 |Mar sun = 200.7 |Apr sun = 203.7 |May sun = 248.0 |Jun sun = 306.4 |Jul sun = 348.1 |Aug sun = 331.7 |Sep sun = 227.7 |Oct sun = 183.4 |Nov sun = 136.9 |Dec sun = 93.2 |year sun = |source = [[Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera|Instituto de Meteorologia]]<ref name="IPMA">{{cite web |url=http://www.ipma.pt/bin/file.data/climate-normal/cn_71-00_MIRANDA_DO_DOURO.pdf |title=Monthly Averages for Miranda do Douro (1971–2000)|publisher=Instituto de Meteorologia}}</ref>}}
