Re: Is it really that hot in the Algarve ?
We only had 2 days above 30 this summer in Viana do Castelo and today is 23 with low level clouds or is it a fog bank? No wind to blow it away.

Re: Is it really that hot in the Algarve ?
Thanks for all the info, much appreciated.
On the West coast, with the summers being cooler than the Algarve, what does that mean for the winter ?
Generally, I don't mind the heat ... it's the cold I hate with all my heart !
@ GeniB, I had my 13 years in Holland as well, first in Flushing and later on in Mijdrecht. Thank goodness, after that we left for Tanzania where I started to play golf (not allowed to work anymore
).

Re: Is it really that hot in the Algarve ?
The west coast is cooler than the south in winter, but not by much.
Sunny mid-winter days are normally around 18C.
Overcast or rainy days drop to 10- 12C, and as low as 5 at night, occasionally even a light freeze.
The difference in summer is stark; 10C cooler at my place than on the southern coast is pretty normal.
I really, really enjoy the weather on the southwest coast. Year round.
