There are cooler days ahead, but not before the mercury climbs even higher in the middle of the week, bathing Alicante in heat more typical of July.

Monday May 13

The week will get off to a rather overcast start but the cloud cover will clear before the afternoon to reveal plenty of sunny spells. Daytime temperatures will remain unchanged for now but Monday evening will be a little warmer than previous days.

A southerly wind will feel a little stronger along the coast.
