UNPRECEDENTED late October weather for Alicante province will continue with the mini-heatwave, tropical nights, and now a yellow warning for strong gusts of wind.
The Aemet yellow alert is for Thursday with maximum gusts of up to 80 kilometres per hour- courtesy of Storm Benjamin.
The warning will kick in from 8am on the north coast and from noon in inland areas.
The alert will be active until 6pm with a probability of between 40% and 70% that high winds will strike.
Aemet recommends ‘extreme caution’ in exposed areas- especially on roads and when doing any outdoor activities.
Temperatures for many parts of the province could reach around 33C on Thursday- especially in the southern Vega Baja region.
Values will fall to around 28C to 29C over the weekend, with overnight minimums between 18C and 20C.
Alicante province has already broken the record for tropical nights so far in a year with 2025 with 105 days up the hours Tuesday into Wednesday.
Aemet expects that total to rise thanks to a new tropical night between this Wednesday and Thursday.
It’s the first year that the 100 day mark of tropical nights has been beaten, with the previous highest being 97 in 2023.
A tropical night is defined as the minimum not falling below 20C, raised to torrid if it does not go below 25C- something that was experienced over the long and very hot summer of 2025.
