As Spain braces for its first widespread heat wave of the year, Alicante province is preparing for a sharp rise in temperatures over the coming days as well. While the most extreme conditions are expected further inland and to the south of the country, Alicante certainly won’t escape the heat.

 

Clear skies and soaring temperatures are on the cards heading into the weekend, with Saturday shaping up to be particularly intense.

 

 

Thursday will be mostly clear across the province. Nighttime temperatures will rise slightly or hold steady, while daytime highs remain largely unchanged.

 

Winds will be light and variable, though inland areas may experience moderate northwesterlies early in the day, shifting to an easterly breeze by afternoon.

 

 

Another day of brilliant sunshine is forecast, with early morning temperatures dipping slightly or staying the same. Daytime highs will vary, climbing in some areas but falling in the south of the province.

 

Winds will again be light and changeable, becoming more consistent from the east by the afternoon.

 

 

Temperatures will climb sharply throughout Alicante, both during the day and at night. Skies will remain clear and a yellow weather alert has been issued for high temperatures along the northern coast from 1pm.

 

Winds will stay light and mostly easterly, increasing to moderate strength later in the day.

 

 

Expect clear skies, with some cloud cover developing in the northern interior during the day. Minimum temperatures will rise across the southern half of the province, while the north sees little change.

 

Daytime highs will stay steady overall, though coastal areas along Valencia may see a slight dip. Winds remain light and variable, trending easterly in the afternoon.
