Climate:
All year round, the Algarve enjoys the best climate in Europe. With only a short period of
rainfall (it normally rains between November and March) and long hours of sunshine
(the highest in Europe), the Algarve region is blessed with the perfect weather for tourism.
The Algarve is a veritable paradise for bathers. It is a region endowed with beaches of fine
white sand all along its extensive coastline and a calm sea with water temperatures of
around 22°C in the summer period.
Due to its relief and geographical position, the Algarve is influenced climatically by the
European continent, North Africa, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean.
The maximum temperatures in the Algarve vary, throughout the year, between 15ºC and
31°C and the temperature never falls below zero in the winter. This is why tourists from
Northern European countries increasingly seek out the Algarve, where they can enjoy
long hours of sunshine.
