One truth about the weather in the Algarve is that compared to the rest of continental Europe it is always better down there in the south of Portugal, temperatures being usually higher in winter as well as in summer. The climate often misjudged as Mediterranian, it is not just mild but also wild – not at least due to the significant influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the gulf stream. And because of the sun that shines on an average 300 days per year. It happens that the sea water in August is freezing cold, but in November you might find the seawater pleasant and go for a swim, because in the later months of the year the currents carry more warm water from Africa to the European coast. In the late year you can have more than 20° air temperature and bright sunshine all day long around Christmas time. If you catch such a winter weather period and find a nice beach in a bay protected from the wind you will surely start sunbathing. But do not generally expect beach and bathing weather in the winter months. This time of the year you will find a mild climate with lush green vegetation, flowering meadows and almond trees. The nights are fresh but in daytime 18°-20° are not unlikely. As soon as the sun comes out you feel its warmth and southern power. Here you will find a detailed climate table of the Algarve.
