The municipality has a temperature gradient that increases according to latitude, the interior is colder than the urbanized areas of the coast, Sassoeiros, and Talaíde. The winters are very mild, being one of the most pleasant places in the metropolitan area thanks to the effect of an urban island, the proximity to the sea, the good exposure to the south, the Sintra mountains (which houses part of the north wind council) and the passage of the hot gulf stream. Summers follow the same tonic, because this is the most western municipality in Portugal, therefore having a greater proximity to the ocean. In particular, it is due to the coastal outcrop caused by the northern winds, which cause the deepest and coldest waters to emerge and remove the warmer, surface waters.

Oeiras is a municipality in the western part of the Lisbon metropolitan area, a subregion of Greater Lisbon, in continental Portugal. It is part of the urban agglomeration of Lisbon, 16 km from the capital. The population in 2011 was 172,120 living in an area of 45.88 km2, making the municipality the fifth-most densely populated in Portugal.
Oeiras is an important economic hub, being one of the most highly developed municipalities of Portugal and Europe. It has the highest GDP per capita in the country, being also the second-highest municipality (immediately after Lisbon) in terms of purchasing power as well as the second one collecting taxes in the country. These economic indicators also reflect the education level of the inhabitants, as Oeiras is the municipality with the highest concentration of population with higher education in the country. It also has the lowest unemployment rate in the Lisbon area.
By the end of the 1980s, however, Oeiras began to constitute its own economic pole in the Lisbon metropolitan area, concentrating its development on tertiary activities linked to science, investigation, information technology, and communications. At the end of the 20th century, the municipality became known for its high standard of living, leaving behind its image as a suburb of Lisbon and assuming an important position as a center associated with new technologies (with the establishment of various technology parks, such as Taguspark and LagoasPark) and service industries. The elevated standard of living and work allowed the region to obtain several awards, including the Best Municipality to Work, Municipal Excellence Award, European Enterprise Award, and the ECOXXI Award.
