Possibility of light April showers: Alicante weather forecast Apr 18-21

Friday morning, April 19

The traditional Spanish saying ‘En abril, aguas mil’ (‘In April, a thousand waters’) isn’t exactly holding true for Alicante province. Although many parts of Spain have experienced torrential storms over the past couple of weeks, in the south, temperatures have continued to rise and there’s been very little rainfall.

And it appears that this trend will continue for the next few days, for the most part.

Although Aemet’s weather forecast suggests the possibility of “weak and scattered” rainfall along coastal areas on Friday morning, any potential showers will likely be light and isolated.

Thursday April 18

Thursday’s forecast is for mostly clear or partially cloudy skies, with increasing cloud cover in the southern part of the province later in the day.

There will be no major changes in temperature, accompanied by light breezes that will intensify periodically along the coastlines of Valencia and Alicante.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Thursday

Alcoy: 9ºC to 22ºC

Alicante: 12ºC to 21ºC

Denia: 11ºC to 21ºC

Elche: 11ºC to 23ºC

Orihuela: 11ºC to 25ºC

Friday April 19

There could be a shift in the weather on Friday, as the day will begin very overcast, but the skies should clear in the afternoon.

Scattered, weak rainfall could make an appearance during the first half of the day along coastal areas but these showers aren’t expected to be heavy or widespread.

Both day and night-time temperatures will drop slightly.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Friday

Alcoy: 7ºC to 19ºC

Alicante: 11ºC to 20ºC

Denia: 11ºC to 21ºC

Elche: 9ºC to 20ºC

Orihuela: 9ºC to 20ºC

Saturday April 20

By Saturday, temperatures are poised to increase substantially with inland municipalities seeing hikes of roughly 3ºC.

The skies should be mostly clear and bright, with some intervals of high clouds in the south of the province.

Gentle easterly winds will prevail in the afternoon, strengthening moderately along the southern coastline.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Saturday

Alcoy: 8ºC to 22ºC

Alicante: 10ºC to 20ºC

Denia: 10ºC to 21ºC

Elche: 7ºC to 21ºC

Orihuela: 8ºC to 22ºC

Sunday April 21

Looking ahead to Sunday, the thermometers will return to their earlier trend and begin to drop again.

Cloudy spells will dominate the day, giving way to partly cloudy skies in the south by the afternoon.

Moderate winds will emerge intermittently along Alicante’s central coast at the same time.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Sunday

Alcoy: 7ºC to 21ºC

Alicante: 12ºC to 20ºC

Denia: 12ºC to 20ºC

Elche: 10ºC to 22ºC

Orihuela: 10ºC to 22ºC
