Hi All

Flying out on Saturday - really excited.

I have been looking at the weather forecasts over the last few days, and they are constantly changing. Its now telling me its going to rain all week, when yesterday most of the websites forecast sunshine??

If anyone know's of any accurate forecasts i can look at, or knows what the weather is going to be like from Sat 24th for a week your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you x

Hi Julie

We flew out on 10th May and arrived back yesterday, to brilliant sunshine in the UK (we live in Bournemouth). We had a full nine days and we hardly saw the sun!! Most days it was very overcast and cloudy and it rained as well. We checked accu weather everyday we were there, but it constantly seemed to be changing.

Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and made the most of drinking and eating in the evenings, some fanstastic places to go for a great meal.

The weather must surely break soon, fingers crossed for some sunshine for you.

according to "those who know" we're in for ANOTHER crap weekend

Just got back from a long (5 day weekend). We looked at various forecasts each day. When it forecast rain, we had dark clouds, when it forecast cloudy, we got rain, when it forecast partially sunny, we got mostly cloudy.

My advice:

Expect the worst, bring a bit of everything clothing-wise, ignore the weather forecasts, take each day as it comes, and just enjoy the Algarvian way of life - sometimes that may also include hot sun, and then if you're lucky, you can complain about the mosquitoes

Warm and a clear blue sky at the moment.
