A new heat wave hits the Marina Alta. Once summer has entered, the high temperatures are the undisputed protagonists of the season. During the day today, the thermometers are expected to reach 40º in populations further from the coast.
According to the State Meteorological Agency, in the most coastal areas the temperature will be lighter, reaching around 36º. However, in the town of Dénia The orange alert has been activated due to temperatures that could reach 40º during the afternoon.
Although everything will depend on the behavior of the haze, it is true that since the last hours of yesterday afternoon it has barely allowed the sun's rays to pass through. In addition, the extremely warm air mass has left almost the entire peninsula, now concentrating on the Mediterranean coast. In fact, while temperatures are increasing rapidly here, they are decreasing in the rest of Spain.
The strip where this rise in temperatures will be most noticeable will be in the afternoon, starting at 13:00 p.m. At night the thermometers will go down until they recover a temperature that is also inappropriate for the date (this time due to low), since tomorrow a cooler Atlantic air mass will enter.
Unusual temperatures
Despite repeatedly hearing the opposite, these temperatures have nothing to do with what is usually recorded on the date. No, not "it is normal because we are in summer".
The Climatological Laboratory of the University of Alicante has wanted to insist on this aspect since there are places in the province where values 10 or 15 degrees higher than the average of the time will be reached.
