Vilamoura Weather

Vilamoura and the Algarve are blessed with about 300 days of bright blue sunshine every year. Unlike it's neighbouring country Spain, Portugal and in particular Vilamoura and the Algarve enjoy warm dry winters and hot summers that are cooled by the breeze that comes inland of the Atlantic Ocean.

The weather in Vilamoura from late May to mid September is pretty near perfect with long hot sunny days stretching deep into the night, and unless you are very unlucky you will not need to wear a jacket at all. August can get very hot and if you are here for any length of time the sun can seem a little relentless but who would have it any other way!

April, May and October are also very pleasant months, although if the hotel or apartments you are staying at do not have a heated pool then swimming could be out of the question. You should definitely bring a jacket or jumper for the evenings but this is perfect weather for those long lazy lunches that we promise ourselves we will do more of when we get home.

November, December, January and February are the coldest months in Vilamoura. The climate is perfect for the hordes of golfers who flock here to play in a near perfect climate. Slightly chilly mornings and evenings generally give way to warm afternoons to give you almost perfect golfing conditions. If you are visiting Vilamoura over these months you should definitely bring a jacket and jumper. It may even be worth packing some wet weather gear in case you find yourselves in the middle of a rainy week.
