Wednesday weather forecast
May is delivering a brief calm after recent storms, but the pattern shifts again as warmer air moves in across the peninsula. Forecasters say a new wave of warm conditions will be felt in the coming days, with rain returning to Spain as another storm system approaches from the Atlantic late in the week. The national forecast points to rising daytime temperatures for most regions, with the exception of the northeast where morning lows stay cooler. In several interior zones, thermometers are expected to climb above 35 degrees Celsius, marking a notable surge compared with recent days. Specific hotspots include Huelva and Cáceres, with daytime highs reaching into the low to mid-30s for most of the listed areas, and Seville potentially brushing 36 degrees. The northern half of the country can expect comparatively moderate temperatures relative to the rest of the peninsula.
The coastline and southern inland areas should prepare for heat that feels intense in the afternoon sun, while the northern regions trend cooler and more temperate. This contrast will shape plans for outdoor activities and travel through midweek. Emphasizing the shift in humidity, some coastal zones may experience a lighter breeze that helps temper the heat, but it will not eliminate the high daytime temperatures in the hottest locales. Weather services stress staying hydrated and avoiding peak sun hours during the hottest portion of the day.
The view from the coast and beaches on Monday shows how quickly conditions can change with the season. Coastal observers note that clear skies this week will give way to more variable conditions toward the weekend as Atlantic fronts move in from the west and northwest. The forecast signals that this pattern may bring renewed rain bands and storm potential by the weekend, especially across the northern half of the peninsula.
Wednesday weather details reveal a pronounced rise in temperatures along the Bay of Biscay, driven by persistent southerly winds that can push thermometers up by several degrees in exposed areas. A noticeable drop in temperatures will be felt in western Andalusia and Extremadura, though not as sharply as in Huelva. In general, the mid-week pattern brings largely dry days, with the exception of the northwest where rain is possible on Thursday and Friday. Looking ahead, the weekend is forecast to bring rain and possible storms to northern regions, with additional Atlantic fronts likely to arrive in the days following.

Forecast for the state of Alicante
Across the Alicante province, clear skies and plenty of sunshine are the order of the day on Tuesday, consistent with this week’s outlook from the State Meteorological Service. Interior areas are set to reach around 30 degrees Celsius, while coastal zones remain cooler due to sea breezes. The balance between inland warmth and coastal cooling helps create a comfortable pattern for outdoor comfort, especially for early-week activities.
On Wednesday, mild air continues to sweep through the province, with temperatures not exceeding roughly 25 degrees in inland pockets and around 23 degrees along the coast, including the city of Alicante. The overall feeling is pleasant, offering ideal conditions for midweek outings and scenic drives along the coast.
Thursday brings a slight uptick in temperatures across Alicante, with a gentle warming trend expected to persist into the weekend. This gradual rise supports continued outdoor enjoyment, balanced by the cooling influence of the sea and the slightly higher humidity typical of late spring in the region. Local forecasts stress caution during peak sun hours, especially for those engaging in outdoor sports or beach days.
