CLIMATE
The proximity of the Mediterranean Sea greatly influences the Algarvean climate. Summers are hot and dry and Winters are mild with hardly any rain (50 days with rain and 500 mm on average each year), combined with very inviting Springs and Autumns.
The sea water temperature starts at around 14ºC in January and reaches a high 22ºC in August.
A pleasant sea breeze refreshes the average annual temperature of the region, which is 17.7ºC (15ºC in January and up to 28ºC or more in July and August).
