Almada rises on cliffs across the Tagus estuary from Lisbon, giving it a similar mild Atlantic climate but with more exposure to wind off the river mouth. Winter storms often bring gusty, wind-driven rain that sweeps up the cliffside neighbourhoods, while the historic waterfront docks below can see localized flooding during the heaviest frontal passages. IPMA radar for the greater Lisbon area extends across the south bank.
