Lisbon Climate

It is common to hear about Lisbon's beautiful light. The sun reflects off the immense waters of the river Tagus onto the walls of the tall houses of the city. It invades the streets of Lisbon, highlighting its monuments, such as the São Jorge castle and the city’s cathedral. A certain mystical beauty involves this light, commented by everyone who visits Lisbon and gets to see it. Thankfully it is not a rare sight. This is because Lisbon has so many sunny days that you are bound to have a day of sunlight during your stay.

The chart below shows you the temperatures and daylight hours in Lisbon. The mildest temperatures are during Spring and Autumn. This is ideal to be out in the nearby golf courses, to walk around the city and see its monuments, visit its cultural centres and perfect to sit out in the cafés. The most appropriate time of year to have a swim in the ocean is during June, July and August. Another high point of these months is that the centre is much less busy, as the locals leave for their holiday. The Winter days and nights are slightly cooler. Lisbon has a special character during these months, as the rustling of its working people is felt in every restaurant, café, street, square, bar or shop, surrounded by the smoke, produced from the traditional roasting of chestnuts.
