🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES May in Lisbon is the "Golden Ratio" of spring. Expect daytime highs of +20°C to +24°C and evenings cooling down to +13°C . The Layer Rule: The Atlantic breeze (Nortada) kicks in after 6:00 PM. Always carry a light jacket or windbreaker. The "Calçada" Challenge: Lisbon’s limestone pavements are beautiful but notoriously slippery, even when dry. Wear sneakers with good grip. Avoid heels or smooth soles at all costs. Sun Protection: The Portuguese sun is deceptive; use SPF even if it feels breezy.
