The climate of Albufeira (Portugal)
Albufeira is located in the Faro municipality and has a Mediterranean
climate characterized by warm and dry summers and mild and wet
winters. Especially during the winter you should bear in mind that
precipitation figures may be high. During the summer precipitation
figures are very low. When it does rain this will often be short
lived. In the interior temperatures are slightly higher on average
because of the absence of the cooling effect of the sea wind.
Albufeira is very suitable as a winter sun destination. Albufeira used
to be a picturesque fishing village. However, over the past few years
it has become one of the largest tourist attractions in the Algarve.
The beautiful wide beaches make this an ideal destination for sun
worshippers. Whoever is looking for a more active holiday can enjoy
one of the many golf resorts in the region. You can also explore one
of the many caves that can be found in the region. Please, bear in
mind that precipitation figures may be high during the winter.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
