The climate of Faro (Portugal)
Faro is the capital of the Algarve province. Most tourists arrive here
at the airport and travel further to the large holiday resorts. This
is a shame because Faro is a fairly authentic Portuguese place in
contradiction to the large holiday resorts. Many foreigners have
settled here over the past few years. The city itself is surrounded by
an old city wall, the Arco da Villa is the most beautiful part.
Faro has a Mediterranean climate. in general, the weather is mild.
Faro is an excellent sun destination all year round. Please, bear in
mind that heavy showers are not uncommon. These showers are often
short lived and offer a pleasant cooling, especially during the
summer. Because of the absence of a sea breeze temperatures may be a
few degrees higher when you travel into the interior.

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:
