"Maximum temperature records can be recorded for the month of March in the province of Alicante between Thursday and Friday. But as of Saturday temperatures drop and with the entry of cold air in the middle and lower layers, we will return to more normal values with the beginning of April, but without rain until the middle of next week," explained meteorologist Lluís Francés.
Beginning on Thursday, the winds will shift to the west and temperatures will skyrocket, with daytime values that could exceed 30ºC. Night-time temperatures will also rise and while there will be morning mists in coastal areas the day will remain mostly clear or slightly cloudy.
