Official Municipal of Sintra THESE AREN"T WORKING. They host a number of photo-filled pages, but the English translations, eg. lauding Sintra in the "collective imaginariness." Even so, the Museums page has exact opening times, phone numbers, etc. Available in Portuguese.

The Climate of Sintra by Belgian high-school students, the Koninklijk Atheneum Landen. The scientific dope.
