wb_sunnyWeather & Climate The Sunniest Place in Europe
The proximity of the Mediterranean Sea greatly influences the Algarvian climate. Summers are hot and dry, but not suffocating thanks to the Atlantic Ocean, and winters are mild with hardly any rain (50 days with rain and 500 mm on average each year), combined with very inviting springs and autumns. The Algarve is famous for enjoying over 300 days of sun and 3000 hours of sunlight on average per year.

Another grey and rainy day ahead. Local weather station is still off-line, but I reckon the temperature to be around 11.5º at 0740am. Wind is light at the moment. Rain is forecast from mid-morning, light showers at first but getting stronger during the afternoon. It will be windier. Maximum temperature 13º. Rain could continue into the night. Saturday will be wet and very windy at times, Sunday as well. In fact the whole of next week is expected to be not very nice.
I am off the UK later today for some better weather, just for a few days. Local forecast for Albufeira on line at https://www.ipma.pt/pt/otempo/prev.localidade.hora/#Faro&Albufeira
