The city of Benidorm will experience a day marked by mostly cloudy skies, persistent rain, and the possibility of storms this Thursday, August 20th, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).

The day will begin with cloudy intervals and light rainfall, but cloud cover will significantly increase during the afternoon, bringing heavier rain and the possibility of storms, a common occurrence during this summer season on the Alicante coast. The probability of rain approaches 100% throughout the day.
Temperatures will range between a minimum of 24 ºC and a maximum of 34 ºC. However, the perceived temperature could reach 40 ºC during the central hours of the day, exacerbated by humidity.
Winds will blow predominantly from the south, with gusts potentially reaching 35 km/h, increasing the sensation of humidity. Relative humidity will vary between 35% and 75%. Additionally, the maximum UV index will be high, specifically at 8, so sun protection is recommended.
This meteorological situation is characteristic of the Alicante coast during summer, where humid air from the sea favors cloud formation and occasional rainfall. AEMET advises wearing appropriate rain gear and seeking sun protection, as well as staying informed about potential forecast changes to plan outdoor activities.
