Lisbon weather — measured locally, corrected against the outcome

Lisbon rises over hills along the northern bank of the Tagus, close to the Atlantic yet sheltered by the Serra de Sintra to the north-west. The nortada — the strong northerly afternoon wind — is exactly what local measurements catch and a grid box misses.

Local weather character in Lisbon

  • The nortada builds through summer afternoons, giving far stronger wind along the Tagus than in the morning.
  • Cold Atlantic water keeps coastal districts cooler than the interior behind the Sintra hills.
  • Winter rain arrives in sharp Atlantic frontal passages rather than as steady drizzle.
