Inland from the Algarve coast, Loule has a drier Mediterranean-leaning climate than the rest of Portugal, with hot, largely rainless summers and a short, concentrated wet season in winter. When rain does arrive it can be intense, occasionally causing flash flooding in the seasonal streambeds that stay dry most of the year. IPMA’s Algarve radar network covers the district from its Faro-area station.
