A New Atlantic Storm to Bring More Rain to Alicante This Week

March has been a month of heavy rainfall. In a hydrological year marked by drought, the successive storms that have entered the peninsula this month, up to four, have brought significant precipitation to the region, filling reservoirs and accumulating in several municipalities more than 80% of the annual rainfall in just one month.

After a few days of sunshine and completely clear skies thanks to the anticyclones that have kept the storms at bay, the rains are returning. They will start from Wednesday, as forecasted by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

After lingering over the peninsula, the anticyclone has moved north to Europe, giving way to the storms. In fact, one will arrive from the Atlantic Ocean in the coming days, bringing the first showers on Tuesday to the western edge of the peninsula, and then pouring down again in the province from Tuesday.

The Aemet warns that the week will start "with little rain, but new Atlantic storms will bring rainy weather, especially from Wednesday," and assures that the showers "will be geographically widespread."

According to Aemet forecasts, it will rain across the province from Wednesday, with a probability of over 95%, although the heaviest showers are expected in the northern coast and in the interior and mountains of Alicante, where they may even be accompanied by storms. These rains are expected to continue at least until Friday.

Regarding temperatures, a slight drop is expected in the coming days, especially in the maximums, which in several coastal municipalities will fall below 20 degrees, while the minimums slightly rise on the coast, but not in the interior, where they will be below 10 degrees at the start of April.

Looking ahead to Easter, forecasts remain uncertain and instability prevails. It is still too early to know if there will be rain, and the weather that prevailed in March is affecting bookings, which are waiting for last-minute updates to know the forecasts.
