Coastal areas of Alicante province will bear the brunt of the bad weather as a new storm sweeps across Spain

Orange alert for gale-force winds and stormy seas: Alicante weather forecast Oct 19-22

Weather warnings on Thursday October 19

A very active Atlantic front will sweep across Spain in the coming days in the form of storm Aline and, unlike previous squalls, this one will hit Alicante province hard with abundant rain, strong gusts and stormy intervals, particularly in coastal areas.

Thursday October 19

After a bright, sunny Wednesday with summer-like temperatures, change is afoot from early Thursday morning. The day will begin rather dull and this cloud cover will increase as the hours go by with widespread and often intense rain forecast in the late evening.

This instability will bring about a drastic drop in temperatures but the main concern is the wind, which has given rise to an orange weather alert along the entire coast for rough seas from 6pm. Coastal areas are also on yellow alert for gusts.

Orange weather alert for dangerous waves: North coast and south coast.

Yellow weather alert for strong wind: North coast and south coast.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Thursday

Alcoy: 15ºC to 25ºC

Alicante: 19ºC to 28ºC

Denia: 18ºC to 29ºC

Elche: 18ºC to 29ºC

Orihuela: 18ºC to 28ºC

Friday October 20

Friday will begin overcast again with a chance of scattered showers and occasional stormy intervals during the first half of the day. It will clear up in the afternoon, which will be slightly cloudy. The westerly wind will persist with very strong gusts inland which could reach parts of the coast.

Daytime temperatures will take another considerable drop.

Yellow weather alert for rough seas: North and south coasts.

Yellow weather alert for high winds: Inland Alicante province.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Friday

Alcoy: 12ºC to 20ºC

Alicante: 17ºC to 25ºC

Denia: 16ºC to 26ºC

Elche: 16ºC to 24ºC

Orihuela: 15ºC to 25ºC

Saturday October 21

Storm Aline will have passed by Saturday morning leading to more stable weather, although the skies will still be mostly cloudy with bright intervals. Daytime temperatures could dip by a degree or two but the night will be much cooler, and the wind will lose strength, decreasing from moderate to light in the afternoon.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Saturday

Alcoy: 9ºC to 19ºC

Alicante: 14ºC to 24ºC

Denia: 14ºC to 24ºC

Elche: 12ºC to 23ºC

Orihuela: 13ºC to 22ºC

Sunday October 22

The chance of rain returns on Sunday with overcast skies throughout. The night will remain chilly and daytime temperatures will continue to fall. A light easterly wind will increase to moderate along the coast.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Sunday

Alcoy: 10ºC to 15ºC

Alicante: 15ºC to 23ºC

Denia: 14ºC to 21ºC

Elche: 13ºC to 22ºC

Orihuela: 14ºC to 21ºC
