What's the weather like in Tavira?
Weather
Situated on the south coast of Portugal, Tavira boasts a Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers and mild, rainy winters. Part of the Algarve region of the country, the resort area sees moderate temperatures all year long, making it a popular resort spot for travelers from all over the world. While many in the UK and other parts of Europe are trudging through cold autumn and winter days, the resort offers a welcome break from the bleak weather.
Summer is the most popular time to visit, but spring and autumn see plenty of holiday visitors to. Its location means it misses the northern rains and cold air thanks to the Estrela Mountains in the middle of the country that keep those weather patterns from moving south. The resort does however get the weather patterns coming up from northern Africa and across the Mediterranean. This includes rain and humidity.
Sea Temperature
In Tavira, the Gilao River meets up with the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean water temperature remains consistently warm throughout the year, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Dating back to the 8th century, the resort has been invaded, destroyed, and rebuilt numerous times. A picturesque bridge crosses the River Gilao, connecting the two sides of the city. The city is home to over 37 churches that you can visit and enjoy the beauty and architecture.
Thanks to the year-round warm temperatures, you can enjoy the beach any time of the year. The beach is separated from the town by salt pans and only accessible via a ferry or over a footbridge in nearby Santa Luzia and Acoteias. Because of the boom in tourists in recent years, the town has added numerous golf courses and a large shopping centre.

Weather Hazards in Tavira
Wind
Fortunately, Tavira doesn't experience many weather hazards or extreme weather. During the summer months, if the Sirocco winds blow in from the Sahara and North Africa, the high temperatures can reach up to the high 30s. As the winds travel across the water, they pick up moisture and bring it onshore in the form of high humidity and stifling temperatures. These extreme high temperatures can cause problems for visitors outside including sunburn, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
Earthquakes
Though extremely rare, earthquakes are possible in the area as well. The last one was back in 1755, when a magnitude 9 earthquake struck, decimating the town of Tavira, and much of the area of Algarve. The earthquake, as well as subsequent tsunamis and aftershocks, caused tons of damage to buildings and infrastructures.
Thankfully, these weather hazards are unusual and for the most part, you'll get amazing weather during your stay. If you're concerned about weather hazards during your holiday, consult the local forecast to get a good idea of what to expect.
