Is the word ensolarado the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

No

While the spelling, meaning, and grammar of "ensolarado" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese, there is a difference in typical usage. In Brazil, "ensolarado" is a very common and natural way to describe the weather in casual, everyday conversation. In Portugal, while the word is perfectly correct, it is often perceived as more formal or descriptive (such as in a weather report). In daily Portuguese conversation, people are much more likely to use the phrase "com sol" or simply "está sol" to express the same idea.
