Weather in Albufeira today

Yesterday was very pleasant, 31 was the order of the afternoon and I thought the forecasters had over called it, until about 5.00pm when it suddenly went ballistic and even at at 6.30pm we had 36!

Through the night we’ve had quite some wind which is puffing and blowing about now, it’s early but we also have some cloud, it’s much more unsettled than the past week or so. Currently 20 degree’s, 31 forecast but with this wind, will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Yesterday the wind dropped back to the usual light breeze before lunch and it got very warm, as is normally the case exceeding IPMA’s revised forecast and peaking at 35.

Today looks to be cooler than of late, I hope that's not Tom bringing it back with him, just 29 forecast but I think that’s low, the wind is back but we still have totally clear skies and full sunshine… not much change really, not much difference to report but a few degree's cooler for the next week than the past one!

Much fresher and cooler this morning, and through the night, currently 20 degree’s, an impressive 32 forecast for later (so likely a bit more). Clear skies, there is some fuzz way out to sea which will likely get burnt off, a lighter breeze than of late… happy days.

Anorak time!

In the past few minutes the planes into Faro have switched to the easterly approach, ie. they are now going in from the West and therefore going over Albufeira. This is pretty much the exception, I’d say 90% of the time they go in, and out, the other way. This is obviously dictated by wind direction and what I have noticed over the years, is that it tends to be hotter when they go in this way, when the wind must be predominately from the eastern side of the compass. We will see and of course the wind can change direction in a second. This is the first time though since we arrived, a week ago Tuesday, they have gone in on an Easterly. Interesting to watch.
