In a normal year, the recorded maxima can go anywhere from {{convert|12|-|19|C}} in the winter and {{convert|23|-|35|C}} in the summer, and the minima from {{convert|3|-|1413|C}} in the winter and {{convert|16|-|24|C}} in the summer.

{{Weather box
Line 144 ⟶ 145:
 
== Precipitation ==
Lisbon can be described both as a moist and a dry city depending on the season of the year. Precipitation is most common in Autumn and Winter which is therefore the greenest time of the year. Summers in Lisbon tend to be very dry due to the [[Azores highHigh]] though exceptions happen and [[low-pressure area]]s can come into play bringing much more thanrainfall averagethan rainsnormal but still avoiding a wet summer (>{{convert|30|mm|abbr=on}}). Foggy mornings are also common in the summer, especially in coastal areas and can bring [[drizzle]] which can sometimes be observed early in the day in wet roads and [[calçada]] near shady areass.
 
Lisbon has on average 112 precipitation days a year of which around 30% is drizzle (below {{convert|1|mm|abbr=on}}). The driest months, July and August, have on average two days of precipitation ({{convert|4|-|6|mm|abbr=on}} of which 50% is drizzle), and the wettest months, November and December, have on average 12–15 days of precipitation and around {{convert|127|mm|abbr=on}}.<ref name="HKO"/> December is the rainiest month of which half the days receive some form of precipitation. The average annual precipitationrainfall is {{convert|774|mm|abbr=on}}.<ref name="IPMA"/>
 
{{Weather box
Line 184 ⟶ 185:
 
==Humidity==
In the same way precipitation varies greatly from month to month, the average relative humidity also experiences considerable seasonal changes. Lisbon has very humid winters, averaging 78-80% humidity. This humidity also adds to its mildness but can also result in muggy conditions in the most humid winter days, especially in closed spaces with no air filtration. The air in the summer is otherwise dry, 60 to 65%, and is particularly variable, often going below 40% during the day and surpassing 70% at night.<ref name="PdC" /><ref name="NOAA" />
 
{{Weather box
Line 207 ⟶ 208:
 
== Sunshine ==
Lisbon is a sunny city, in fact, it is one of the sunniest capital citycities in mainland Europe and one of the sunniest overall places in southern Europe, with more than 2,800 yearly sunshine hours despite the relatively high yearly precipitation.<ref name="HKO"/> Sunshine and precipitation stack up oppositely with the dullest month being also the rainiest (December) which has around 140-150 total hours. Despite July having the most sun hours, August is on average the sunniest month with around 80% chance of direct sunlight hitting the ground.
 
In the Lisbon area, sunshine hours reach their maximum value in the southwestern [[Setúbal Peninsula]] (near [[Cabo Espichel]]), and their lowest in the [[Sintra Mountains]] and parts of the northwest [[Lisbon District|District]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Solar prospecting tool for fast and reliable project pre-feasibility |url=https://apps.solargis.com/prospect/map?show-registration=1 |publisher=[[Solaris (operating system)|SolarGis]] |access-date=30 January 2021}}</ref>

== Daylight ==
Due to its southern position in Europe, Lisbon has a rather optimal number of hours of daylight. Winter days are not as short as in the northern part of the continent and summers have at least 9 hours of nighttime. The average duration of daylight in the wintertime is 10.3 hours<ref name="weather2travel">{{cite web |title=Lisbon climate guide |url=https://www.weather2travel.com/portugal/lisbon/climate/ |publisher=weather2travel.com |access-date=30 January 2021}}</ref> (for comparison: [[London]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.weather2travel.com/climate-guides/united-kingdom/london.php|title = London Climate Guide: Monthly Weather, England}}</ref> or [[Moscow]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.weather2travel.com/climate-guides/russia-europe/moscow.php|title=Moscow Climate Guide: Monthly Weather, Russia (Europe)}}</ref> or [[Warsaw]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.weather2travel.com/climate-guides/poland/warsaw.php|title = Warsaw Climate Guide: Monthly Weather, Poland}}</ref> have about 8 hours).
