It's raining steadily from low grey cloud. Temperature at 0800 is 14.7º. The radar is still out of action, so I cannot tell for sure how long the rain will last but the official forecast suggests only untul mid morning. Once the rain passses it will be cloudy still, with very little wind. Maximum temperature 17º, which is about average for the time of year.  It will be a little windier tonight, with the temperature falling to around 12º inland, 13 or 14 along the coast.

Tomorrow is expected to be wet, windy and cold. Rain is likely at any time, maximum temperature no more than 13º. It could be quite windy during the afternoon and evening. Wednesday could be a nicer day, but Thursday and Friday could see us back to showery weather.

It's quite bright this morning, just a few scattered high clouds. Temperature at 0755am is 13.0º, wind is very light from the south west. It will stay like this until tea-time, maximum temperature 18º. There is a chance of some light rain towards the end of the afternoon. This could develop into longer periods of rain during the evening. It won't be too cold tonight, down to 13 or 14º.

Tomorrow will be more or less the same as today, but with less chance of rain. The weekend should be mostly sunny, dry and warmer, up to around 20º.

Sun is out and it is already a very warm 17.1º at 0915am.  There is again barely any wind. Maximum today 20º, should be sunny all day today. Tonight it will fall to 12 or 13º.

Tomorrow and Tuesday will be a bit cloudy but still warm, 19 or 20º. For Wednesday, a cold fron is expected coming from the north, it will be windy. Rain is likely and maximum 17º. For the next few days afterward, it will be a mix of sun and clouds, most likely dry, but cold. Daytimes only 16 or 17º, nights could fall to very cold 9º away from the coast.

A cloudy and damp feeling morning here. Temperature at 0800 is 16.5º, wind is light but steady, from the north. Colder air therefore. The cloud should go by lunchtime ahead of a sunny afternoon, but it won't be very warm today, 17º at best. Rain is not expected. It will be a lot colder tonight than recent nights, down to 10º by midnight and it will still be quite windy.

There will not be much change over next few days. Temperatures will be similar to today, maybe a little colder still at night. There is little or no chance of rain.

Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning. Or it was half an hour ago. Sun's coming up on another bright day, some thin cloud out to sea, temperature at 0800 is 10.1º. It was quite windy during the night, but has slackened off now. There will be though a steady breeze all day from the east, so it could feel quite cold despite the temperature rising to perhaps 18º.

The temperature tonight will fall to 9 or 10º in the early hours. Tomorrow won't be quite so warm as today, but it will be less windy. This same weather is set to be with us until next weekend at least. Sunny, 17 or 18º, dry, rather windy at times.

There's afiar bit of of high cloud out to sea this morning, but blue sky overhead. Temperature at 0810am is 12.9º, wind is very light. A calm, sunny, day is expected with the temperature reaching 16 or 17º during the afternoon. It's likely to pretty cold tonight, could be as low as 6º out of town. (Reported to me that one or two places up in the hills were only 3º a couple of nights ago!)

Little if any change is expected for the next few days other than it will be rather windier from Wednesday, thus feeling colder.

Brrr! Bright and sunny but temperature at 0815am is only 9º. There is light wind, from the north. It will warm up fairly quickly to a maximum of 16 or 17º. It will be cold again tonight, the wind will make it feel colder than the expected 9º low.

It won't be as windy tomorrow and it could be a little warmer, 19 or 20º perhaps. Calm and sunny over the weekend and into next week, but there are signs on the forecast of a break in the weather from Wednesday with some rain possible.

Oce again, bright and sunny this morning. Temperature at 0915am is 11.9º. There is very little wind. It will warm up quickly, reaching a maximum of perhaps 20º early this afternoon. it will become a little more windy this afternoon. Clear sky means another fairly cold night, down to 8 or 9º in town and colder inland. It will remain sunny and calm over the weekend and for Monday 25th, perhaps not quite so warm in the daytime and colder at night.

But a change in the weather is coming for the middle of next week, with a lot more cloud and possibly some rain at last.

It is a very pleasant 14º here in Albufeira at 0940am. Sky is blue, there is a just a little high cloud to sea and a very light wind. Expecting a high today of 17º. It won't be too windy. Tonight will be fairly cold again, down to 8 or 9º inland, a bit warmer in town.

Tomorrow and Monday, also Tuesday, will be very much the same, maybe a little cloudy in the afternoons. A change in the wind direction brings the possibility of some rainy days from Wednesday.

It is a bit misty out to sea, but bright and sunny overhead. Temperature at 10.10am is 14.1º, wind is very light. Maximum today 16 or17º, it might be cloudy later. Another cold night ahead, down to 8 or 9º inland, 10 or 11 along the coast.

Tomorrow it will be cloudy but still warm at 16 or 17º and again with very little wind. Same goes for Tuesday and most of the rest of the week, except that there is a small chance of rain Thursday and Friday. The outlook for New Year's Eve is dry and not too cold or windy.

Christmas morning in Albufeira has dawned rather cloudy. Temperature at 0900 is 14.1º, there is barely any wind. it will be a cloudy day, not much sun at all, dry and top temperature of 16º.  It will be fairly cold again tonight, down to 9º inland, 10 or 11 along the coast.

Very little change is forecast for the next few days until Friday, when it looks there is a chance of some rain. The outlook for New Year's Eve is cloudy, dry and around 10º.

Tha last day of the year has dawned rather cloudy. It looks like it is raining out to sea, but the radar is still not working so I cannot be sure. Temperature at 0915am is 14.1º, the wind is very light. It should be a dry day and evening, maximum temperature 17º. There is a slight chance of a little rain, but on the whole nothing to disruprt tonight's celebrations. Tomorrow will be a simialr day, but a change in the wind direction and strength from Tuesday, to come more from the south, will bring slightly warmer temperatures but also a greater chance of showers, especially on Wednesday and Thursday.

It has been a little misty so far this morning, but the sun is starting to come through. Temperature at 080am is 15.4º, wind is very light. It is feeling damp, there will be cloud around all day. The wind will increase later, it's coming across the sea keeping it warm but damp. Maximum temperature 18 or 19º this afternoon. It will be a warm night compared to recently, no lower than 14 or 15º

There is a fair chance of rain tomorrow, but probably only light rain during the afternoon and evening with temperatures similar to today. Same goes for Thursday, then it's going to turn a lot colder, especially at night.

There has been some rain during the night, but it is dry now. Rather cloudy, a very light wind from the west and temperature is 16.1º at 0840am. It looks like it's going to dry until lunchtime but more rain, perhaps heavy thundery showers, is expected this afternoon. Maximum temperature 18º.

That's going to followed by a few days of cooler daytime weather and much colder nights behind a cold front that is crossing the country. But it should be mostly dry.

Blue sky overhead, quite cloudy out to sea. Temperature at 0800 is 12,9º, windier than it has been, so it will feel a bit colder when outside. It will be a dry day, but quite windy at times. Maximum temperature only 15º. It will be cold tonight, down to 7º inland, 9º along the coast and feeling colder still in the wind.

There won't be much different over the weekend. Monday does look like being a rainy day ahead of some unsettled showery weather for the rest of the week.

Brrr! The oofficial website says it was only 7.5º in Albufeira at 0800, outside my back door at 0845 my thermometer says 11º.  It's a little cloudy with a light wind from the north. Sun is just starting to show through. It will stay cloudy, maximum temperature 14 or 15º. No rain is expected. Some good news is that the new weather radar at Loulé is now operational, so when it does rain we can now see where it is and in which direction it is going.

It won't be very warm again tonight, could be as low as 5º inland, 7º in town. A similar day tomorrow, but a change in wind direction on Monday will be bringing rain from mid afternoon  and through the night and it will be colder still. Then it should be dry but really cold until the weekend, when more rain is due.

Bright and sunny, but warm it is not. Temperature at 100am is 10.6º, wind is very light. It will be calm day, very little wind, mabe clouding over e bit later. Maximum temperature 15º if we are lucky. A cold night ahead, could be as low as 6º inland, 8 or 9º in town.

Tomorrow will start off fairly pleasant, but wind and rain is expected from mid-afternoon and through the night. Once that's past, the next couple of days should be dry but rather cold, 13º, then more rain is coming over the weekend and early next week.

Tomorrow will also be a warm day, 18 or 19º, but rain is likely during the afternoon. Once again a warm and damp night will follow. The rest of the week will be similarly warm during the day, with a chance of showers at almost anytime, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday. Night-time temperatures will fall back to 11 or 12º by the end of the week.

Damp and misty again, rain is on the way. It's not cold, temperature at 0930am is 17.5º, wind is moderate from the south-east. The radar shows a very large mass of rain heading our way, expected around lunchtime. That will be accompanied by strong winds. The yellow weather warning is in force from 1500hrs for the wind, from 1800 for the expected very heavy rain. Some of the rain could also be accompanied by thunder and lightning. It won't be cold, it's warm and damp air coming up from the tropics.

All of that could well go on through the night and into Wednesday, with rain persisting on Thursday and even Friday. Once that's over, the next few days are expected to be a lot nicer!

After a wet and windy night, it is still windy but not wet just now, although there is some more rain heading our way. It's not cold, temperature at 0830 is 16.5º. It's going to be windy just about all day, slackening off this evening. Maximum temperature 18 or 19º. Rain is possible  certainly until lunchtime, it might be less so this afternoon.

It won't be so windy tomorrow, but there is a still a good chance of rain at almost any time and it will be a bit colder, 15 or 16º. Rain could still be with us until Friday afternoon, then colder but dry weather is on the way for the weekend and beyond.

Not nice! It's been blowing a gale most of the night and there has been 23mm (almost an inch) of rain, all of which goes straight down the drains of course and into the sea**.  It's not raining now, but the sky is full of dark clouds with the radar showing a lot more rain heading our way.  Temperature at 0845 is 15.5º, it is rather windy. It will stay windy, but the direction will change during the day to be coming from the north, so it will get colder. Tonight will be much colder than it has been lately, down to 9º perhaps. The weekend and the days after will be a mix of sun and clouds, dry but colder - 15 or 16 daytime, 8 - 10º at night then getting warmer by the end of the week.

** Big headlines in the local media about the drought but with all this rain not being collected, who's to blame? The Romans and Moors did it better.

It is much colder this morning that for the past few days. Temperature at 0745am is 11.3º, wind is light from the north. There is a bit of cloud around but it will be a sunny and dry day, a little windier later, maximum temperature of 15º. It will be cold tonight under the clear sky. Inland it could be as low as 8º, maybe 10º near the coast.

Not much change is expected over the next week or so, except it will gradually get warmer day and night, up to 20º possible by Wednesday. There is no rain forecast.

The sun is up on what should be a nice sunny day. Temperature at 0820am is 10.9º, which should rise to 19º this afternoon. It's not too windy now, but will become windier during the afternoon and evening. It won't be too cold tonight, down to about 10º inland, 12 in town.

Loks like a few warm and dry days coming. Tomorrow will be a nice day also. Temperature could rise to 23º on Wednesday and Thursday. The sun will be behind cloud from time to time, but on the whole very acceptable for late January. No rain is forecast for this week.

It is a bit breezy this morning, but a pleasant 16º at 0930am. A sunny day is ahead, temperature could reach 21 or 22º this afternoon. That will fall quite quickly after sunset to 16 or 17º, but it won't be a cold night, 14º at worst. It could even warmer tomorrow, 23 even 24º.

The general situation after tomorrow for several days is for a mix of sunshine and clouds, sometimes a little windy, with daytime temperatures around 20º, nights 12 to 14º and no rain.

Nice morning, some high cloud but the sun is up there. Temperature at 1005am is 17.1º, wind is light. It will stay cloudy, maximum temperature 19º annd less windy as the day goes on.  Tonight it will be around 14 or 15º at midnight, falling further to 12 or 13 before dawn.

Similar tomorrow, nice and sunny for the rest of the week but a change in wind direction from Wednesday will make it a little colder at night. No rain is expected and it will not be very windy most of the time.

It's a little cloudy this morning and quite breezy. Temperature at 0900 is 16.4º. It will be fairly windy until early evening, maximum temperature 19º. The wind should die down during the evening and night, with the temperature falling to around 13º by midnight.

It might be a little warmer and less windy tomorrow, with a bit more sun. A change in the wind direction from Thursday will bring clearer skies, which means sunny and fairly warm days but colder nights. Not expecting any rain for the next few days. Save water, drink beer!

It's fairly nice out there but rather cloudy out towards the west. Temperature at 0905am is 14.0º, wind is light.  it will stay cloudy, but with the wind coming from the south will be reasonably warm at 19º maximum. The wind will change direction this evening and tonight, to come from the north. It will therefore be colder tonight than recently, down to 11 or 12º.

Daytime temperature for the next few days will remain at 18 or 19º, but nights will be cold at 9 - 11º. Rain is not forecast for at least the next week.

Very foggy this morning! Temperature at 0745 is 12.1º, there is barely any wind. The fog will lift by mid morning to be followed by a sunny day, maximum 18 or 19º .  Cloud will return during the evening and night. It will be a still night and not so cold as it has been lately, down to 15 or 16º. Not much different for tomorrow and early Thursday, then a weather front will arrive during the afternoon, bringing wind and rain. That rain will continue possibly for much of Friday and into Saturday.

Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning? I don't think so. It's going to be a cloudy day, but no rain is expected. Temperature at 0720am is 13.1º, there is a steady breeze from the north.

We shall see some sun later, top temperature 19º. Another fairly cold night ahead, down to 11 or 12º. There will be more sun tomorrow and also on Monday and Tuesday, with daytime temperature possibly as high as 23º. Still cold at night though. Colder weather is slowly approaching for Wednesday onward. Towards the end of the week there is also a good chance of showers.

A nice morning once again, sunny and only a light breeze. Temperature at 0800 is 14.9º. It's going to stay nice, possibly some cloud with the wind picking up late afternoon. Maximum temperature 21º. There were people sunbathing on the beach yesterday. The wind is from the north, so it will be cold again tonight, down to 12 or 13º.

It wil be cooler tomorrow and much more windy from the afternoon, which could be accompanied by light showers during the evening and night. Friday and Saturday will probably feel cold in the wind, Sunday could be another windy and rainy day.

Cool, cloudy and windy this morning. Some rain is on the way, perhaps. Temperature at 0900 is 15.3º. The radar currently shows a lot of rain to the north and a few showers west of here.  Some might come our way this afternoon. It won't be very warm 17 or 18º at best. It will be fairly windy into the evening and night, down to 11 or 12º.

Tomorrow is going to be very windy, there might be some showers early in the day. It will be cold, 14 or 15º and feeling colder in the wind. Not a day for the beach!

We are going to be in this northerly airstream all week, so it's going to stay cold and windy. Probably won't rain much though.

it's been raining during the night, but we should have a dry day today. But it is going to be very windy and quite cold. Temperature at 0945 is 15.2º, it probably won't be much warmer.

The wind will be with us through the night and it is likely to be very cold, as low as 7º in the  early hours of tomorrow and feeling colder in the wind. Tomorrow will also be a dry day, but still windy and still cold, 16º at best. It won't be quite so windy on Wednesday, but with the airstream coming from the north, still quite cold. The windy and cold weather will be with us for a few days. There is a fair chance of some showers on Saturday.

Bright and sunny, but decidedly chilly this morning. Temperature at 0740am is 11.8º, wind is  steady and moderate and from the north. It is going stay windy until  late afternoon, maximum temperature 16º. It will be a dry day. The wind will pick up again tonight and it is going to be very cold by our standards, down to 10º by mid-evening and even colder later. In the wind, feeling colder still!

The rest of the week is not going to be much different. Sunnny spells in the daytime, quite windy, with daytime temperature 16 or 17º, night time as low as 7 or 8º.

It is a little cloudy this morning and not quite so windy as it was yesterday. Temperature at 0930 am is 13.4º.  It will stay fairly cloudy, the wind will gradually die down during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 15 or 16º. No rain is expected.

It won't be quite so cold tonight as it has been lately, 11 or 12 and with no wind to speak of not too unpleasant if out and about. But, after a quiet night, another bunch of wind and rain is coming tomorrow, probably for the afternoon. It will though be a bit warmer, possibly 19º. Tuesday and Wednesday should be dry with some sun, but more rainy days to come afterwards.
