loud thunderstorm this morning and lots of rain, but cleared around 1pm to give lovely afternoon, up to 20 degrees,
just got back from the square, sitting in the sun

As Tricks says, severe thunder and downpour about 8 this morning. Sparodic rain up until lunchtime, then a glorious afternoon for our stroll around the Alvor boardwalk.

A good weather website to watch is instituto de meteorologia.IP Portugal

This site gives a good forecast and if you click on RADAR you can see the cloud radar display from the radar at the top of Monchique.
This shows exactly where the rain bearing cloud is.

Our gardener, who is never wrong about the local weather says this is the best forecast available.
