The first heatwave of the season may be over, but that means little for the sky-high temperatures across Alicante province. We’ll feel some relief for a day of two but the mercury is set to shoot up again once we reach the weekend proper, prompting the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) to activate a yellow heat warning along the southern coast.

 

 

Thursday will be mostly bright and sunny with building cloud cover later in the afternoon. Temperatures will remain largely unchanged for the time being but stiff breezes could bring a little relief during the central hours of the day.

 

 

Friday will be mostly clear with some cloudy spells in the north of Alicante province. Temperatures will remain steady in the low to mid-30s across the board.

 

 

The skies will again be mostly clear and sunny, with a smattering of clouds. Daytime temperatures will shoot up along the southern coast, where a yellow heat warning has been activated between 12pm and 8pm.

 

 

We can expect a little more cloud cover on Sunday but it will still be bright and sunny for the most part. There’s a slight chance of thundery showers in the extreme north of the province, where temperatures could also dip by a degree or two. No changes are expected elsewhere.
