Storms and yellow warning issued: Alicante weather forecast December 15-18

Aemet forecasts more unsettled weather in the coming days across the Alicante province, with heavy showers and possible thunderstorms

After a weekend of rain and flooding in some parts, it looks like the unsettled weather is here to stay. The forecast shows plenty of cloud, occasional thunderstorms and a yellow warning is currently in place. Temperatures may not sound extreme on paper, but for Alicante they’re low enough to make things feel wintry, especially early in the week.

Monday December 15

Monday looks set to be a very cloudy day across Alicante province. Expect showers throughout the day with the possibility of thunderstorms earlier in the day in some places. Temperatures dip slightly overnight but edge up during the day. Winds will be light overall, though breezier along the coast.

A yellow weather warning is currently in place, so it’s a day to keep an eye on conditions, particularly in exposed coastal areas.

Tuesday December 16

Tuesday continues the unsettled theme. Expect thick cloud and more showers, some of which could be heavy and again accompanied by thunderstorms. The good news is that conditions should start to improve later in the afternoon as the rain eases. Daytime temperatures drop a little compared to Monday, while winds remain light inland and moderate along the coast.

Wednesday December 17

Wednesday looks set to stay grey and damp for much of the day, with cloud cover hanging on and rain showing up on and off across the province. While inland areas may start to dry out later, rain is likely to linger along the northern coast of Alicante, where showers could be more persistent. Temperatures edge up slightly, but northeasterly winds along the coast will add to the cool, wintry feel.

Thursday December 18

Thursday brings a bit of improvement. Expect a mix of cloud and brighter spells, with some light rain still possible along the northern coast early on, clearing later in the day. Temperatures rise a touch and while coastal breezes linger, inland areas should feel calmer by the evening.
