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.

Fairly horrible. Wnd, rain, low grey clouds. An area of high pressure down to the south is generating a fairly strong airflow across teh sea, bringing warm but moist air acros the country. It's not cold, temperature at 0830am is 15.1º but outside it's not altogether pleasant at the moment!
The rain will clear by lunchtime ahead of a cloudy afternoon with maximum temeprature likely around 19º. It should be a calmer night, 1 or 15º. Tomorrow might see some showers, it will be cloudy and about 18º. Wednesday and Thursday should be fine and dry, possibly 21º which is warm for the time of year. After that, a mix of sunshine and showers for a few days.
