🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES The Forecast: Expect pleasant spring warmth with daytime highs of +20°C to +22°C and cool evenings around +13°C. May is the magical month of the Jacaranda bloom , painting the city in shades of lilac. Logistics Advice: The "Calçada" Challenge: Lisbon’s iconic limestone pavements are notoriously slippery, especially if there’s a morning mist or light drizzle. Wear shoes with excellent grip. Layering is Key: The Atlantic breeze can be chilly. Keep a light jacket or scarf handy for the riverfront and evening viewpoints. Golden Hour: With sunset around 20:39, the best light for photos starts at 19:30. Plan to be at a "Miradouro" (viewpoint) during this time.
