Weather in Albufeira today

Utterly terrible here! Last night the temperature dropped to 18C and I nearly had to get the duvet out from the cupboard.

Now at coming up to 11am it is a chilly 21.4C in bright blue skies with a gentle breeze getting my washing dry. Expecting a high today of 25C and it will cloud over a little during the afternoon, but no suggestion of any rain.

Tomorrow will be little cooler with more clouds and on Wednesday there is the chance of showers down this way, thunderstorms in the centre and north of the country so possibly a bumpy ride for anyone flying that day.

Just wondering if any locals could give us an insight to the expected weather for the next week or so??

"... but invariably it's better than they forecast"

830am, raining but not that hard, from low grey cloud. Temperature 21.5C.

It has been raining during the night and the radar shows a line of showers coming from the south and west, with more to come. I think we are in for a wet morning, then there might be a spell of dry weather then another lot of rain this afternoon. The second instalment might have some thunder and lightning mixed in. Temperatures no higher than 23 or 24C.

Things will clear up later, with a dry and warm night expected. Tomorrow will be a cloudy day, around 23C, then for Saturday more thundery showers are on the way.

Huh! So much for today being a nicer day! It's dull and dismal this morning, raining steadily.  Temperature at 0840 is 22.2C.

The radar http://www.ipma.pt/pt/otempo/obs.radar/index.jsp shows a whole bunch of stormy  showers swirling around to the south of us. Some more will come our way before things improve  this afternoon. Maximum temperature today 24C, but that's largely academic in this wet weather.

Tomorrow, Saturday, doesn't look like being particularly nice either, more heavy showers are expected then for Sunday not so wet  but not very warm, perhaps only 19C.

Was watching the golf on sky from villamoura , same called off due to the rain. Hope it picks up for end of October

It was indeed very wet yesterday until  mid afternoon. Then it cleared up and was quite nice, leading to grotesque sights in the old town as the tourists shed their garments.

This morning it is grey and damp, it was raining earlier but has stopped now.  Temperature at 0925 is 20.1C. There is a line of showers just going past our way and coming is a huge lump of wet weather, presently just off the coast down by Lagos. That might bring some thundery showers later today, especially down in the west of the region. Maximum temperature no higher than 22C.

The weather will be less wet tonight, but still with showers around. These will continue into Sunday and Monday.

Been tipping it down on & off since lunch time.
Golf at Vilamoura has been suspended, due to heavy rain & flooding, for the last couple of hours so I doubt they get the full 18 holes in before it gets dark.
That's if they can get started again which must be doubtful.
They've already lost a complete day to the weather.
Not a great advert for golfing in Portugal.
Thermometer has struggled to get above 20 and it gets quite windy & chilly when the heavy showers come.
Not a great start to our visit but it can only get better.
