A grey day dawns over Albufeira. It's 11C/52F, no wind to speak of.

Wind is from the Southwest, so it will warm up a bit during the day to about 15C/60F.

There are few isolated showers showing off the coast and, like yesterday, there might be a few spots of rain later if we are unlucky.

Fairly grey out there earlier and some rain - out early, went paintballing!

Sort of cloudy and sunny, wind's getting up and its coming from the south and  south-west, where the darker clouds are.

At least the southerly wind means it's warm - 15C/60F.

It's very grey and very windy today here in Albufeira. In fact the wind woke me at 430am about which I was not pleased.

Current temperature (1230 local) is 14C/57F.

There is a HUGE band of rain just off the west coast of Portugal and it is going to be very wet in most of the south of the country later today and also tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend!

If it's any consolation, it is even worse in much of the UK and northern Europe than it is here this afternoon.

Two friends had their golf rained off earlier.

If the Algarve gets 320 days of sunshine a year, and as all the books say so, it must be true - (oh yeah!!) - then you must be in for a treat really soon! If you don't get better weather soon, I'm complaining to trading standardsDisapprove

Be ready to start complaining - we are already 31 days into the year , so there must be only ten more days of rain for 2009.

It has been raining most of the night but is clear now. Isolated showers around for this morning but as the day goes on it gets worse and tomorrow the forecast is black clouds and those little yellow flashes meaning storms and lightning and stuff.

Current temperature (0730) is 8C/47F rising to maybe 15C/60F but it won't seem anything like that with the clouds and rain around.

Wind from the south at the moment but moving around to the west bringing the rain with it over the next 24 - 36 hours.

All the forecasts are saying that next week will be pretty wet and gloomy, with just a chance of a day of respite around next Wednesday.

So if you are coming out over the next few days bring your rain hats.

Yes, I just looked at the seven day forecast and it's showing rain every day, including thunderstorms, as Cubser says, later in the week.
If it's right that'll take it to 38 days leaving only 3 more for the rest of the year, I wished!

Well. I dunno where everyone else is at the moment, but I have not long been home from a convivial night out. It's 00.30 local Sunday morning.

The wind is howling, the rain is lashing down, the whole of the region is on orange alert for bad weather of all descriptions. The lights are flickering, there's stuff rattling and banging about outside, but I am not going outside to see what it is.

Tomorrow is going to be much the same we hear.

No point in trying to sleep so I am off to catch up with the days sports news.

0208 and it is unspeakably horrible! I've got rain coming in through the balcony windows and the wind is ferocious, the noise is pretty bad. The radar picture shows the extent of the bad weather. The dark green bits are the really heavy rain.

I have had to open the doors leading to the balcony to reduce the howling noises and I am sitting here in the full expectation of the power going any moment!

Well, what a pleasant night that was! The wind and rain finally eased off around 4am, so it was a late night.

1000am and it's fairly bright outside but a large mass of cloud is out there to the south-west. That's going to bring more rain today although it won't be as prolonged and heavy as last night.

It's still very windy but not squally and gusty.

Current temperature is 14C/57F and it won't get much warmer.

Have  a nice day.

It's just started belting down with rain again. I already have about 1/2 inch of water on my enclosed balcony but that's not going to cause any problem.

Out the back the drain is blocked with leaves blown from the trees and that will cause a problem as I might have to go outside and clear it to stop water coming in through the  terrace door.

My friends apartment at Pateo Vilage has sprung a leak and they have to move out. Anyone else having weather related problems?

A combination of high tides and surface water draining from inland has wreaked havoc with the beach at Salema here : http://www.portugal-webcams.com/Salema/webcam-salema-mega.jpg

No problem with my apartment with regard to leaks, all very dry and snug. Was worried though that the satellite dish was going to disappear over into Ocean Ville during the night but it held on.
