Weather in Costa Blanca
The Costa Blanca consists of 200 kilometres of coastline belonging to Alicante in the country of Spain. Its name means literally the "White Coast" and it is home to a typical Mediterranean climate with long and hot summers and brief and quite mild winters.
You can expect around 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and an average afternoon temperature in excess of 20°C for most of the year. The temperature is cooled in the summer by sea breezes and the surrounding mountains protect the resort from cold northerly winds in the winter. You can expect up to 325 of sunshine days per year. Summers are very long, hot and dry, while winters are cool to mild, with very scarce precipitation in the course of the whole year. Although there have been extreme weather conditions here, such as flooding and storms, the weather is generally extremely enjoyable the majority of the time.
The topography is mountainous to the north and west, then mostly flat to the south. The white sandy beaches and clear blue waters make it a beautiful destination to holiday inn summer, the weather is nothing less than spectacular; in winter, pleasant temperatures make a popular escape for people from western and northern Europe. If you're planning on spending your holiday in the Costa Blanca, you can check the detailed and up-to-date weather forecast before choosing your preferred holiday dates.
