Weather today

A grey, mild Sunday, with storms possible inland. Open-Meteo forecasts an overcast Sunday 4 October in Alicante city, with temperatures between 22 and 27 degrees, a 30% chance of rain and winds of up to 12 km/h.

Inland, around Cocentaina, it will be noticeably cooler, ranging from 17 to 24 degrees, and storms are expected (33% chance of rain, light winds up to 8 km/h). If you're planning a hike or a drive into the hills, bring a waterproof and keep an eye on the sky in the afternoon. On the southern coast, Benidorm should reach 28 degrees after a low of 22, under cloud but with only a 15% chance of rain and a breeze of up to 14 km/h. That makes it the safer bet for a seafront walk, and a light layer will do for the evening.

Transport & traffic

• Renfe warns of disruption on the Mediterranean Corridor. Renfe has warned of possible cancellations and delays on Mediterranean Corridor trains during a severe weather warning, TodoAlicante reports. If you're travelling by rail along the coast in the coming days, whether to Valencia, Murcia or further north, check your train's status on Renfe's website or app before leaving home and leave yourself extra time. Travellers with a tight connection, especially a flight from Alicante-Elche, should think about catching an earlier service or having a road alternative ready.
