If you’re searching for the pogoda (weather) in Alicante, expect a classic Mediterranean climate: long, hot summers with abundant sunshine and mild, short winters. Average summer highs reach 30°C, while winter temperatures rarely dip below 10°C, making it a year-round destination for sun-seekers.
What is the weather like throughout the year?
Alicante enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine annually. The hottest months are July and August, when temperatures often touch 35°C. Spring and autumn are pleasantly warm, ideal for sightseeing or relaxing on the beach. Winter is mild and relatively dry, though occasional rain can occur. For a nearby comparison, take a look at our Benidorm weather page — conditions are very similar given how close the two resorts are.
When should you visit for the best weather?
For reliable heat, June to September is best, but if you prefer milder conditions, April, May or October offer comfortable temperatures without the peak crowds. The sea is warm enough for swimming from June through October. Before you travel, don’t forget to check the 10-day weather forecast for your departure city in the UK so you can pack accordingly.
