Historic climate, made clear

Lisbon in May,
from the evidence.

Temperature, rainfall, daylight and sea-temperature context from a named normal period—with the station fit and missing year left visible.

This is one published evidence example, not a working global search. Historic normals are not a forecast. New places stay unavailable until their source period, station fit and calculations pass review.

Clear answers need clear boundaries.

Climate99 summarises long-run historical observations. We do not show live weather, forecasts, crowds or prices. Where the record is incomplete, we say so.

What Climate99 can build next

Shared catalogue status: checking…

Loading reviewed layers…Existing output remains fail-closed if the catalogue is unavailable.

A listed layer is not automatically used in the Lisbon example. Each new place or comparison needs a source-specific licence check, qualified geography and period, visible observation date and a material difference to the decision.

Evidence detail

How we know

Lisbon's May summary is based on monthly climate normals from IPMA, using the 1991–2020 reference period. The chart is a simple representation of the observed month-level pattern.

Station match
Lisboa / Geofísico — 3.4 km from city centre
Missing coverage
1998 not available; averages use 29 observed years
Uncertainty
Typical values vary by location, elevation and individual year.
