However, as we head into the weekend, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) expects the thermometers to take a dip and there’s a good chance of showers throughout the province.

The temperatures will fluctuate on Thursday, with the heat more noticeable in the Vega Baja area. And while the mercury will exceed 28ºC at the height of the day in Alicante city, it will be lucky to reach the mid-20s inland.
