It was 24 degrees on the Costa Blanca last weekend!

While part of Spain still has to deal with the effects of the Elsa storm and the upcoming new storm Fabién, there are also parts where it is good to stay, where the sun shines and where the weather is even spring-like. According to the regional newspaper of the province of Alicante last weekend was even 24 degrees on the Costa Blanca!

Saturday started with rain but once the clouds had disappeared the sun came out and it became pleasant spring weather with temperatures up to 24 degrees, and that a few days before Christmas. The minimum temperatures were also not really low at 14 degrees, so it wasn't really cold in the evenings and at night. According to the newspaper it was 25 degrees in Valencia and the temperature there was not below 17 degrees but in the province of Alicante such as Alicante city, Elche, Gandia, Orihuela and Benidorm it was 24 degrees!

The lowest temperatures were measured during the day in the interior of the region, such as Requena and Morella, where it became 18/19 degrees. However, the Spanish weather service Aemet has issued a yellow weather alarm for the Valencia region and therefore the provinces of Alicante, Valencia and Castellón due to wind and wild sea. This also applies to last Sunday except in the province of Castellón. If we look back at the Aemet website at 11.15 on Saturday, it says that a temperature of 24.5 degrees in Oliva (Valencia), 23.8 degrees in Miramar (Valencia), 23.5 was measured at that time. degrees in Xátiva (Valencia) and 23.4 degrees in Pego (Alicante). At that time in Javea the temperature meter is at 20.7 degrees, in Alicante at 16.1 degrees and at Alicante-Elche airport at 16.3 degrees.

Other regions

But the autonomous region of Valencia is not the only place where the weather was nice. That is also the case in Andalusia such as in Málaga where 21.3 degrees was measured Saturday morning or 20.4 degrees at Garrucha in Almería. In the Murcia region the mercury had already risen by 12 p.m. on Saturday morning to 20.5 degrees at Alhama de Murcia and 20.5 degrees at Lorca while the city of Murcia has 19.9 degrees and Cartagena 19.7 degrees. It is also a good place to be on the Balearic Islands, although the Aemet has issued an orange weather alarm due to the wind and wild sea. However, the temperatures had already risen to almost 22 degrees. In Catalonia, temperatures had risen to 18.4 degrees in Tortosa, 17.8 degrees at Barcelona-El Prat airport and 17.6 degrees at Tarragona. In the province of Girona it is fresher with 15.9 degrees along the coast of the Costa Brava. In the Canary Islands, as usual in the winter months, it is good to keep up with temperatures between 20 and 23 degrees (depending on where the islands are).
