Today's essentials

Weather today

Grey but dry Monday, highs of 26 to 27 degrees. Open-Meteo forecasts no rain anywhere on the Costa Blanca on Monday 12 October 2026: skies stay overcast and Alicante ranges from 17 to 27 degrees.

In Alicante city, the wind will not go above 13 km/h, so a T-shirt will do in the afternoon and a light layer for the evening is enough. Inland, Pinoso is a little cooler in the morning, starting at 15 degrees and climbing to 26 degrees, with gusts up to 14 km/h. On the southern coast, Torrevieja keeps a narrower range, from 18 to 26 degrees, with wind up to 12 km/h.

There is a 0% chance of rain at all three points, so outdoor plans are safe. With cloud cover all day, the sun will feel less intense than the thermometer suggests, but it is still worth wearing sun cream if you are spending hours on the beach or at a terrace.

Transport & traffic

• El Campello centre restricted to traffic until 16 October. In a notice relayed by elperiodic Alicante, El Campello town council has announced traffic restrictions in the town centre from 3pm on Sunday 11 October until 5am on Friday 16 October 2026 for the patron saint fiestas and Moros y Cristianos. In practice, if you live in El Campello or drive through it this week, expect closed streets in the old town, particularly around the parades. Leave the car at home where you can, allow extra time for school runs and deliveries, and check the council's notices before heading into the centre in the evening, when the processions draw the biggest crowds.

What's changing for you

• Alicante rentals gone in 96 hours. According to TodoAlicante, dozens of rental flats in Alicante disappear from property portals within just 96 hours of going online. If you are looking for a place to rent, the lesson is clear: you need to move within hours, not days. Set up instant alerts on the portals, have your file ready to send straight away (NIE, recent payslips or proof of income, employment contract, references) and book a viewing as soon as a listing appears. Hesitating over the weekend usually means losing the flat.
