Storm Warning in Alicante: Latest Update for November 8, 2025

The AEMET (Spanish State Meteorological Agency) warning is consistent with current official data. The weather in Alicante and its province will be windy but without significant rainfall — a typical effect of a cold front from the northwest.

Key Facts About the Warning

• Risk Level: Yellow (amarillo) — gusts up to 70 km/h are expected, especially in inland areas. There is no threat to life, but caution is advised on roads and in open spaces.
• Date and Time: Saturday, November 8, 2025, from morning until the afternoon (approximately 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM). Winds will ease by evening, though isolated areas may experience them into the night.
• Affected Areas: Five comarcas (regions) of Alicante province:
• El Comtat
• L'Alcoià
• Alto Vinalopó
• Medio Vinalopó
• L'Alacantí
• Key Municipalities: Alcoi, Villena, Elda, Xixona, and surrounding areas. Coastal regions (including Alicante city) will see weaker winds — up to 40–50 km/h.
• Cause: A cold front from the northwest is increasing wind speeds and slightly lowering temperatures (lows of 11–12°C, highs of 22–23°C in Alicante). Rainfall is minimal — light, scattered showers possible in the morning, but nothing significant.
• Weekend Forecast: Sunday (November 9) will bring improvement — winds subside, skies clear, and temperatures stabilize. However, overall conditions will remain cooler and windier than a typical November in the region.

Recommendations from AEMET and Local Authorities

• Avoid travel to inland areas during the morning and daytime.
• Secure lightweight structures (awnings, antennas) — strong gusts could cause damage.
• At sea: waves up to 2–3 meters near the coast; exercise caution with water sports.
• For tourists in Torrevieja or Benidorm: beaches remain open, but windy conditions may reduce comfort. Consider indoor activities instead.
