Torrid nights ahead as heatwave continues: Alicante weather outlook August 5-7
Daytime temperatures will remain in the mid-30s in Alicante province throughout the weekend
Much of the Valencian Community has remained on high alert for scorching temperatures all week, with Xàtiva recording a sweltering 42.9ºC on Wednesday August 3. And even though the mercury will dip ever so slightly over the coming weekend, Aemet has warned of a few more sleepless nights ahead with the thermometers remaining above 25ºC in Alicante.
Friday August 5 will be mostly clear with intervals of high cloud in the afternoon. A loose variable wind from the south-east will do little to lower the temperatures, which will hover around the mid 30s across Alicante province.
Minimum and maximum temperatures on Friday:
Alcoy: 20ºC min; 35ºC max
Alicante: 25ºC; 33ºC
Denia: 23ºC; 34ºC
Elche: 23ºC; 35ºC
Orihuela: 22ºC; 35ºC
The temperatures will remain largely unchanged on Saturday August 6 and coastal areas will be slightly cloudy until noon. The night will be a little cooler in Alicante and elsewhere, in Castellón, scattered showers accompanied by an occasional storm are forecast.
Minimum and maximum temperatures on Saturday:
Alcoy: 21ºC min; 34ºC max
Alicante: 24ºC; 34ºC
Denia: 23ºC; 34ºC
