LISBON, PORTUGAL — A strong spell of unusually warm weather continues to grip Lisbon tonight, as temperatures across the capital surged into the low 30s Celsius under clear blue skies and intense sunshine.
Meteorologists say the current heat pattern is being driven by a warm air mass moving north across the Iberian Peninsula, creating dry conditions and extended sunshine throughout much of Portugal. Residents across Lisbon experienced crowded parks, busy waterfront cafés, and heavy foot traffic near the city’s historic districts as locals and tourists took advantage of the summer-like atmosphere.
Along the Tagus River, evening temperatures remained comfortably warm, with light Atlantic winds providing limited relief after one of the hottest afternoons of the season so far.
