The heatwave that has seen Alicante bake in temperatures in excess of 40ºC continues to recede with a much more pleasant weekend ahead, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

Night-time temperatures will abate notably, dropping to 16 and 17ºC in parts, and the mercury will fall slightly on Friday and Saturday only to change trajectory on Sunday, but nothing too drastic.

Thursday August 18 will remain partly cloudy for much of the day and there's a chance of weak and isolated showers in the northern inland areas. Both minimum and maximum temperatures will decrease in the south with minimal change elsewhere. Light variable winds are forecast throughout the day with breezes in coastal areas in the afternoon.

Alcoy: 16ºC to 31ºC

Alicante: 22ºC to 30ºC

Denia: 19ºC to 31ºC

Elche: 20ºC to 31ºC

Low cloudy or clear skies will prevail on Friday August 19, with low cloudy intervals around midday. Temperatures will remain unchanged, with the exception of local high increases in inland areas. Light variable winds will become predominantly easterly and southerly in the afternoon.
