===Extremes===
Lisbon's location on the westernmost side of [[continental Europe]] makes it much less vulnerable to both heatwaves and coldwaves, though outbrakes of the [[Saharan Air Layer]] can sometimes push the temperatures above {{convert|40|C}} as it happened as part of the [[2018 European heat wave]], skies were a shade of white due to the extreme concentrations of airborne dust particles. Temperatures in two of Lisbon's stations reached an all-time high of {{convert|44.0|°C|°F|abbr=on}} on 4 August of that same year. The third station ([[Tapada da Ajuda]]) recorded {{convert|43.3|°C|°F|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=August 2018 bulletin |url=http://www.ipma.pt/resources.www/docs/im.publicacoes/edicoes.online/20180924/QyzZvZwgxxBnLFiHkSkX/cli_20180801_20180831_pcl_mm_co_pt.pdf |publisher=[[IPMA]] |access-date=30 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dn.pt/pais/interior/este-sabado-foi-o-dia-mais-quente-de-sempre-em-lisboa-9679437.html|title=G.Coutinho and Tapada weather stations measure the Lisbon highest temperature record|date=5 August 2018}}</ref>
The coldest temperature ever recorded in the city was {{convert|-1.5|°C|°F|abbr=on}} on both 15 February 1860 and 15 January 1985<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ipma.pt/bin/file.data/climate-normal/cn_71-00_LISBOA_TAPADA_AJUDA.pdf |title=Ficha Climatológica Lisboa/Tapada da Ajuda |publisher=Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera |accessdate=20 January 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ipma.pt/en/oclima/extremos.clima/ |title=Climate Records |publisher=Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera |accessdate=9 April 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Morozova |first1=A.

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|-|13|C}} in the winter and {{convert|16|-|24|C}} in the summer. Temperatures beyond these are usually considered irregular and limited to exceptional years. Lisbon is on the [[USDA hardiness zone]] 10b.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.repository.utl.pt/bitstream/10400.5/4069/2/Disserta%c3%a7%c3%a3o_texto.pdf |title=Hardiness zones of Portugal|publisher= Repositório Institucional da Universidade de Lisboa. pages 60-62}}</ref>
