Weather today

Grey skies and 28 degrees across the Costa Blanca. Wednesday 30 September 2026 will be overcast in Alicante, with a low of 22 and a high of 28 degrees, according to Open-Meteo.

In Alicante city, the chance of rain is only 3% and the wind stays light, with gusts of up to 13 km/h. Short sleeves will do all day, and the cloud cover takes the edge off the midday sun, so it's a good day for errands on foot or a walk along the seafront.

Inland, Ibi starts cooler at 19 degrees and also climbs to 28, with a little light rain possible (8% chance) and very little wind, up to 9 km/h. On the southern coast, Santa Pola stays grey, between 21 and 27 degrees, with a 3% chance of rain and the day's strongest breeze, up to 16 km/h. Bring a light layer if you're heading up into the hills early in the morning.

Transport & traffic

• Dénia to Xàbia road via les Planes closed after crash. According to La Marina Plaza, a collision between a car and a motorbike forced the closure of the road linking Dénia and Xàbia through les Planes, with police diverting traffic at the access points while emergency services worked at the scene. This inland route over the Montgó area is the most direct link between the two towns, so if you drive between Dénia and Xàbia, follow the police diversions and allow extra time. The report gives no reopening time, so check the traffic news before you set off, and expect some knock-on delays on the other routes while traffic is diverted.

What's changing for you

• El Campello health centre lift due back by year end. The lift at the health centre in El Campello's town centre, currently out of order and sealed off, will be working again before the end of the year, elperiodic Alicante reports. The Conselleria de Sanidad, the regional health department, passed this timeline on to El Campello town council. Until then, if you or someone you go with uses a wheelchair, a walking frame or a pushchair, call the centre before your appointment to ask how to reach the upper floors, or whether you can be seen on the ground floor.
• Cash over €3,000: Hacienda is watching. TodoAlicante points out that Spain's tax agency, Hacienda, keeps an eye on cash deposited into or withdrawn from bank accounts in amounts above 3,000 euros. If you're planning a large cash transaction, such as paying a builder, buying a car privately or paying in savings brought from abroad, keep a written record of where the money came from and what it's for. That way you can back up the transaction easily if your bank or the tax office asks about it.

• Alcoi Socialists push Pagos for new industrial land. The PSPV-PSOE group on Alcoi town council will put a motion to the council meeting on 5 October asking for the Pagos area to be developed first as the town's new industrial land, elperiodic Alicante reports.
