Rain is making a comeback across Portugal this week, signaling the end of summer and the onset of autumn. With temperatures expected to drop significantly, residents can prepare for a shift in weather patterns that will affect nearly all districts in the country.

In Lisbon, temperatures will not exceed 24 degrees Celsius from Monday to Friday. The city will experience overcast skies, with light rain expected on Wednesday and Thursday. However, a brief return to warmer weather is anticipated on Sunday, with temperatures rising to around 27 degrees.
