Calm after the storm: Alicante weather forecast Aug 15-18
After a brief cool spell, the temperatures in southern Alicante will shoot up again this weekend
Weather outlook on Saturday August 17
Alicante, like the rest of the Mediterranean, was battered by violent storms over the last couple of days. Several fires broke out after trees were hit by lightning, flights were diverted and cancelled because of the winds and a huge supermarket roof collapsed in Valencia.
On the flip side, the DANA brought a welcome relief to the sky-high temperatures of late and it has been dramatically cooler. But, as the storm slowly moves away, the mercury will start to creep up and we’ll be back to those high 30s before the weekend is out.
Thursday August 15
All of the weather alerts issued for Alicante province have been lifted but the after-effects of the storm will linger on Thursday. While the skies will be mostly clear, the cloud cover will deepen later in the afternoon when occasional showers are likely.
Night-temperatures will fall and the daytime heat will remain largely unchanged for the time being.
Friday August 16
Friday will be another mixed day, with fairly heavy cloud cover and some isolated light rain in the northeast of the province. Elsewhere, it should be bright and sunny.
Maximum temperatures will begin to rise, creeping up into the low 30s across the board.
Saturday August 17
With the tail-end of the storm departing, the weather is back to business as usual in Alicante on Friday. Clear, bright skies will predominate and the temperatures will shoot up by at least a couple of degrees in most places.
A warm southerly breeze will feel a little more blustery along the coast.
Sunday August 18
Sunday will again be sunny in most of Alicante but there will be a little more cloud cover than the previous day. Nevertheless, the mercury will continue to climb, reaching a scorching 37ºC in Orihuela.
