Weather in Albufeira today

Sun loungers still on beach and being used and a hardy soul in for a swim.

Not so nice today. At 0730 the sky was bright red, so shepherd's warning.

It's quite cloudy now, no sun to be seen. Temperature at 9am is 11.3C, there's a very light wind from the north east. It will stay cloudy all day but shouldn't rain. Maximum temperature around 17 or 18C this afternoon. Tonight will be cold again, 7 or 8 away from the coast, 9 or 10 here.

Tomorrow the weather will change. A cold front will move across the country, bringing temperatures down and a cloudy day on Friday and making for a showery weekend.

Nice to have seen you Andrew, do your best to survive this next few weeks.

1310hrs - I might have to revise this forecast as I can see a raincloud out to sea and it is getting very cloudy.

Today in Albufeira it is a bit cloudy but the sun is up there. Temperature at 0905am is a very decent 13C, there is the lightest of wind more or less from the south. It looks like being not as cloudy later as expected, temperatures should reach 17 or 18 this afternoon. There are some showers on the radar down to the south of us, but they are not expected to come our way today.

It will be fairly cold again tonight, 7 or 8 away from the coast 9 or 10 near the sea. The rain comes tomorrow, quite a lot of it according to the forecast with temperatures in the 15 - 17C range. Sunday will be a bit better, but still with showers around.

After a fairly wet night it's been a cool and damp morning, although it is not raining now. There is plenty of cloud around, temperature at 11am is 12.3C.

There's a steady wind from the west which will bring more showers throughout the day. It will stay cloudy and temperature is unlikely to be more than 14C.

The last of the rain will pass by during the night, which will be fairly cool at around 9C. Tomorrow will see the return of calm and dry weather with wind from the north, clear skies and daytime temperatures around 16C. This should be the situation for the week.

So, what's happened? This morning's weather was definitely not on the agenda. It is very grey and cloudy, there are showers around.

Temperature at 0920am is 14.3C, the air is very damp feeling. The radar shows a lot of isolated showers to the south and west with a good chance of some coming our way. Temperature will rise to 18 or 19C by this afternoon by when the showers should clear away.

It won't be too bad tonight, 10 or 11C then tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be sunny and warm for the time of year.

It's a bright sunny morning but colder than yesterday. Temperature at 1015am is 12.3C, there is a bit of a breeze blowing. It will stay fine and dry all day, with a maximum temperature of 17 or 18C and it will feel quite warm if you are out of the wind.

Tonight will be 11 or 12C.

Tomorrow and Saturday will see little change except perhaps a bit colder at night.

Looking further ahead, Sunday should be fairly pleasant then from Monday it will become cloudier with a chance of a few showers on Tuesday and Wednesday. It will still be fairly warm, in the 16 - 18C range during the day.

You are so lucky to be having such nice weather at this time of year. I hope you are all appreciating it.
