The Algarve has a warm climate with over 3,000 hours sunshine a year, more than the Costa Brava, Majorca or French Riviera.

Summer temperatures are however below the extremes of those in the Mediterranean countries and sea breezes keep temperatures down in the evenings.

The ideal time to visit is spring, in April and May, the countryside is lush and green with a profusion of wild flowers. But to see the almond trees in blossom you need to visit the Algarve in January or early February. The hottest time of year usually is July/August, which is peak season.

Take light clothes in summer, plus a jersey or two for cool evenings. In winter it is wise to take a warm jacket or coat, though during daytime you are likely to need no more than a jersey, and can still feel very hot in the sunshine. Whatever time of year you go, remember to take sunglasses.
