The climate of Costa Blanca (Spain)
The Costa Blanca (white coast) is one of the most popular coastal
regions in Spain and is situated in the eastern part of the country in
the Murcia region. The Costa Blanca consists of a large part of the
coast of both Alicante and
Valencia. Along the Costa Blanca several
large and several small seaside resorts can be found. Some of these
resorts are very popular among those who spend their winter in Spain. Benidorm is probably the best example. The Costa Blanca has a
Mediterranean climate, the most stable climate type in Spain.
Precipitation figures are low all year round and the Costa Blanca gets
many hours of sunshine. Hardly any extremes in temperatures can be
recorded either. Subzero temperatures are uncommon and temperatures of
40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher are uncommon in
this part of the country. The mild and dry winters and the pleasantly
warm and dry summers are caused by the influence of the Mediterranean
Sea which warms up the region during the winter. This effect is
amplified by the presence of hills and mountains that keep the warmth
from moving into the interior and prevent cold from the interior from
reaching the coast.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
