🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect delightful spring conditions with daytime highs of +19°C to +24°C and cool evenings around +13°C. What to wear: Layering is your best friend. A light jacket or sweater is essential for the Atlantic breeze at Cabo da Roca and evening strolls. Footwear: Lisbon’s calçada (stone pavement) is beautiful but notoriously slippery when damp and punishing on the feet—wear sturdy sneakers with good grip. Allergy Note: May is peak bloom; if you are sensitive to pollen, keep antihistamines handy for the lush parks of Sintra and Estrela.
