Is September the right month?
The best month in Algarve is July (9.9/10), 0.9 pt higher than September.
Our verdict
The Algarve is the entire south of Portugal: 300 km of Atlantic coast, golden cliffs, spectacular beaches, golf courses (one of Europe's #1 golf destinations). July is my favourite month (9.9/10): 18-28°C, 2% rain, sea at 21°C (a bit cool), constant skies.
Plan your trip
Hotels at their lowest outside peak season, highest on comfortable months. Shoulder seasons offer a good price/climate compromise.
