<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Heatwave sees highs of 36 degrees as April draws to a close: Alicante weather April 24-27

In what meteorologists are dubbing "exceptional" circumstances, the mercury looks set to continue to climb this week in Alicante province, particularly in the Vega Baja region where highs of 36ºC are likely.

Alicante has not escaped the ravages of the drought across Spain. Although it has the reserves accumulated in the reservoirs from last year's rains, the province has already recorded the driest two-month period in its history

According to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) so far "64 days have passed without significant rainfall (more than 2.5 litres per m2)".

And there are no signs of any notable rainfall on the horizon with hot and dry conditions ahead as we move towards the weekend and the end of April.

Monday April 24 will get off to a fairly cloudy or clear start with both nighttime and daytime temperatures steadily rising. A light variable wind will tend towards east and southeasterly from midday and feel just slightly more intense.

Alcoy: 12ºC to 27ºC

Alicante: 15ºC to 24ºC

Denia: 14ºC to 24ºC

Elche: 13ºC to 26ºC

Orihuela: 14ºC to 27ºC

Intervals of light cloud will mark Tuesday April 25 as the mercury continues on its upward trajectory, most notably in the south of the province, accompanied by a light variable wind with sea breezes on the coast.

Alcoy: 15ºC to 32ºC

Alicante: 15ºC to 25ºC

Denia: 13ºC to 28ºC

Elche: 13ºC to 31ºC

Orihuela: 14ºC to 26ºC

Cloud will prevail until at least mid-afternoon on Wednesday April 26, more abundant in coastal areas. Temperatures will remain in the high 20s for the most part, even low 30s in the Vega Baja, and a light variable wind will tend towards easterly from midday onwards.

Alcoy: 15ºC to 30ºC

Alicante: 16ºC to 26ºC

Denia: 14ºC to 24ºC

Elche: 15ºC to 29ºC

Orihuela: 15ºC to 32ºC

Intervals of high cloud in general and morning low cloud in coastal areas are forecast on Thursday April 27. While thermometers will creep up in some parts of the province, particularly inland, it will fall very slightly during the day in others, although it will heat up at night. Again, there will be a light variable wind with sea breezes on the coast.

Alcoy: 16ºC to 32ºC

Alicante: 16ºC to 25ºC

Denia: 14ºC to 25ºC

Elche: 14ºC to 28ºC

Orihuela: 14ºC to 31ºC
