The climate in the Western Algarve is typically Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. In the summer months, the heat (which can sometimes reach a high of nearly 40 degrees Celsius in August) is eased by cooling north-westerly Atlantic winds. Despite these temperatures, humidity is rarely a problem. The driest period is from May until mid-September, with only 6% of the annual rainfall occurring during these months. November to February are usually the wettest months but the rain tends to fall for an hour or so, rather than in a constant drizzle. Even in the winter it is warm, with an average of six hours of sunshine.
