Weather in Albufeira today

Not so this morning. Very cloudy, almost gloomy, outside. Temperature at 0935am is 18.3ºC, the air is very damp with all the clouds around. It will stay cloudy all day, temperature might reach 22ºC later. There are some isolated showers out to the west, they probably won't be coming this way though.

Tonight will be damp again down to between 13 and 15.

Sunday and Monday should be a bit less cloudy, staying dry with temperatures still around 22 daytime, 14 or 15 at night. Rain is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.

And again a grey and damp morning. Not cold though, 18.1ºC at 1000am. There is a bit of a breeze today, from the south. It will stay cloudy all day but it looks as if the rain will stay away. Maximum temperature only around 21ºC with the sun behind clouds.

Tonight will be warm but feeling damp. Tomorrow will start much as today but rain will be moving in during the day and will be with us on Wednesday as well, getting heavier. Temperature around 20ºc both days. After Wednesday a spell of colder weather is expected, daytime temperatures no higher than 17 or 18, night-times could be as low as 8 or 9 away from the coast. It probably won't be raining for the second part of next week.

UPDATE 1530HRS - there is a thunderstorm currently over Portimão and Alvor heading in this direction. Sky is becoming very dark looking over that way
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This morning is very grey, rain clouds to the south and north of here. Temperature at 0730am is 16.9ºC,  slightly breezy.

The radar shows large areas of rain but mostly away from here. It did rain a bit in the night, not raining here just now but may be soon. There could be longer spells of rain this afternoon. Maximum temperature no more than 19ºC.

More showers tonight, temperature down to 14 or 15ºC, showery tomorrow but with some sunny intervals and perhaps a touch warmer. By Thursday the wind will have shifted around to come from the north, which will bring colder weather but clear skies.

That cold but clear weather should be with us for Friday and next weekend.

Rain just easing a bit now but clouds are still very dark out to the west.

Might be some lightning still around, lights just flickered.

You should have been here in 2007 I think it was, 9" of rain fell in one night but over a period of hours and of course November 1st 2015 was one to remember.

At 1645hrs it is now raining steadily, rather than torrentially, here in Páteo. Temperature is 18.1ºC if that matters. More rain, probably only short showers, is forecast for tomorrow.

Thursday and Friday, colder but dry.

Round two is now with us. Raining hard here again. Looks like Dicey's end of town will get the worst as a big black cloud has just crossed to the south of me, heading towards Açoteais.

But better weather after tomorrow! More showers tonight, temperature down to 14 or 15ºC, showery tomorrow but with some sunny intervals and perhaps a touch warmer. By Thursday the wind will have shifted around to come from the north, which will bring colder weather but clear skies.

That cold but clear weather should be with us for Friday and next weekend.

3 vac loads to a bucket, approx 20 buckets - luckily there's a loo up here. 2 hours work, bedroom below a bit drippy -anything to earn a beer. All sorted now!

anyone seen the videos on FB with the albeit minor flooding in downtown Albufeira and reports of flooding on EN 125 nr Vale Judeu where all the new drainage was put in earlier this year?
