Tropical nights, sweltering days and showers: Alicante weather forecast June 6-9

Weather outlook on Saturday

Alicante province is in for a very strange few days weather-wise as a DANA is expected to sweep the country over the weekend, leaving behind torrential rain, storms and even hail. However, the Costa Blanca will almost certainly dodge the worst of this forecast.

Nevertheless, the weather will be extremely changeable: in a nutshell, Thursday will be swelteringly hot, Friday will be dominated by haze and Saturday and Sunday will be marked by more scorching temperatures and scattered, sometimes stormy, showers.

Thursday June 6

Thursday should be largely clear with some high clouds and while it will become more overcast towards the afternoon, it will remain dry across the province. Haze will begin to build later in the day and fog banks could also appear along the southern coast.

Temperatures will shoot up, hovering between 29ºC and 33ºC, but it will be much cooler along the coast thanks to the presence of an easterly wind.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Thursday

Alcoy: 19ºC to 33ºC

Alicante: 20ºC to 29ºC

Denia: 18ºC to 28ºC

Elche: 19ºC to 31ºC

Orihuela: 19ºC to 32ºC

Friday June 7

Friday will be another day of slightly cloudy skies and the haze will continue to deepen in most of the province. No significant changes are expected in the temperatures, but Alicante city is in for a rather uncomfortable tropical night.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Friday

Alcoy: 18ºC to 32ºC

Alicante: 23ºC to 31ºC

Denia: 19ºC to 27ºC

Elche: 21ºC to 32ºC

Orihuela: 20ºC to 32ºC

Saturday June 8

Looking ahead to Saturday, daytime temperatures are expected to remain stable or increase by a degree or two. The day will be slightly cloudy with high clouds in the morning and cloudy intervals in the afternoon.

As the DANA hits Spain, showers and occasional storms are likely in inland Alicante in the afternoon, and the dust-loaded haze will also lead to plenty of muddy rain.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Saturday

Alcoy: 17ºC to 31ºC

Alicante: 21ºC to 30ºC

Denia: 20ºC to 30ºC

Elche: 20ºC to 31ºC

Orihuela: 21ºC to 33ºC

Sunday June 9

The day will begin cloudy and damp, although the storms are unlikely to spread to southern Alicante. Daytime temperatures will begin to climb again along the coast while dropping elsewhere.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Sunday

Alcoy: 18ºC to 31ºC

Alicante: 22ºC to 33ºC

Denia: 21ºC to 32ºC

Elche: 21ºC to 35ºC

Orihuela: 21ºC to 34ºC
