Lisbon - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the air quality like at post (good/moderate/bad)? Are there seasonal air quality issues? Does the air quality have an impact on health?
Good. - Apr 2021
Relatively good, given closeness to the sea. At times, can deteriorate, but expect mostly Mediterranean skies! - Sep 2016
Not a lot of factories to mess up the air. In the summer it can get a little rough with static air. But usually just a few days. If you have allergies from trees and plants you might have some problems. - Aug 2015
Great. Nice breeze from the beaches. Very rarely will it get noticeably muggy. - Jul 2015
Sea breezes are the lungs of the city and keep the air quality pretty good year round. It can get a little hazy if it goes too long without winds (and it almost never does - it's a windy city) or rains. - Jun 2012
Excellent as we are right on the coast; however, it is a somewhat humid/damp climate that leaves many people with upper respiratory and allergy issues. Colds, congestion and coughs seem to hang on forever. - Oct 2011
The quality of the air is similar to air quality in the U.S. - Aug 2011
Lisbon is not a healthy place to breathe. The suburbs are much better. - Aug 2010
