Weather

Blessed with good weather, the Algarve has a mild winter and sunshine almost year-round with 12/six hours’ sunshine on a typical summer/winter day. Summertime temperatures average 25°C to 30°C, sometimes reaching as high as 40°C. In January and February, almond blossoms cover the countryside, while in March it’s orange blossom; April is the best time for wildflowers.
