Weather...Whether or not to take the umbrella. by J_Antunes
One of my favourite thing of Lisbon is the weather. The sky is normally so blue and sun shines all year round. However be careful cause Lisbon can be very windy also. Snow in the city is very, very rare and the city covered in white happened for the last time in the 2nd of February of 1954.Average Temperatures in celsius (Min/Max)
