After a couple of stormy episodes last week and over the weekend, the purely summery weather has returned to Alicante. Not only is the province in for a sunny, extremely hot few days, but the night-time temperatures are also set to climb.

 

Minimum temperatures won’t drop below 20ºC all this week, meaning we’re heading for plenty of sticky, uncomfortable nights where sleep may be difficult.

 

 

Monday will be bright and sunny with a smattering of high clouds in the afternoon. Daytime temperatures will fluctuate between 30ºC and 36ºC but it’s at night when we’ll really notice the heat, especially in coastal areas.

 

Light, variable winds are forecast, turning eastward and southeastward in the afternoon.

 

 

Mostly clear and bright again on Tuesday with intervals of high cloud cover at midday. Both day and night-time temperatures will remain unusually high and the light winds could turn breezy at times.

 

 

As the maximum temperatures continue to rise, there’s a good chance of haze in the south of the province. The thermometers should dip by a degree or two in parts on Wednesday night, making things slightly more comfortable.

 

Light, variable winds will tend to moderate southwesterly in the afternoon.

 

 

Another clear, sunny and bright day is on the cards, but those night-time temperatures will inch up again across the board, most notably along the coast.

 

Light westerly winds will be expected inland and light, variable winds along the coast, with an easterly component tending to predominate in the afternoon.
