Albufeira in December - What's the weather really like?

Going for 5 nights at the start of December and know it won't be weather for a T-shirt, but just wondering if it gets really cold at night?

I need to start considering what clothing to bring.

TIA.

I've been over New Year and it was certainly tshirt and shorts weather between 10am-3pm. It then started to cool down but not what I would call cold. I never had a jacket on at night. But then I do live in the NE of Scotland so most places are warmer than here. I loved it that time of year

Lol...I'm in Belfast and it's shorts weather for me as long as there is no ice on the ground
My wife however thinks it's cold when the thermostat gets under 20 degrees, so I need to be able to advise her what to take. Surprised to hear that it is still shorts and T-shirts that late in the year, but that's why I cam seeking advice!!

Cheers for that.

Me too. I've put off going as I believed it would be too cold for me at that time of year. This is obviously wrong then http://www.holiday-weather.com/algarve/averages/december

Wundergound is a good place to look for how the weather was in December over recent years...
