Warm weather continues across the Algarve this week, starting around 27°C on the coast on Monday and climbing to 34°C by Friday, while inland areas like Silves could reach 37°C by Saturday.
With no rain forecast and warm evenings of 20–22°C, it's perfect weather for late-night dining and outdoor events.
The region's summer calendar is in full swing, with the medieval fair in Silves, waterfront celebrations in Santa Luzia, traditional festivals in Bensafrim, plus fado in Portimão, folklore in Estômbar, Cape Verdean music in Olhão and the charming White Night festival near Albufeira. Across the Algarve, the best of the week begins after sunset.
