Many parts of Spain have been battling rain and thunder storms this week and while Alicante has escaped the worst of the weather so far, the couple of days leading up to the weekend will be dreary and damp. However, once we get those out of the way the sun will make a comeback and the temperatures are set to soar.

 

 

Partly cloudy skies are forecast for the most part on Thursday with the exception of inland towns, where occasional thunderstorms are expected and the rain could become very heavy later in the evening.

 

Day-time temperatures will drop by a degree or two but the breezes should remain light.

 

 

Inland Alicante, along with the northern coast, has been issued with a yellow weather warning for storms until 3pm. Overall, the day will be cloudy or overcast with occasional showers and locally heavy thunderstorms in the morning, easing during the afternoon. Temperatures will drop again, particularly inland.

 

Easterly and southerly winds will feel more blustery along the coast in the afternoon.

 

 

Day-time temperatures will jump up by several degrees on Saturday, although the day will still be partly cloudy. Light, westerly winds will gain strength in coastal areas later in the day.

 

 

The day-time temperatures will continue to rise on Sunday, approaching a summery 30ºC in parts. The day will be mostly bright and sunny with coastal breezes.
