Alicante, Spain

There are 110 mediterranean destinations in our catalog, and Alicante's numbers hold their own: a 100/100 sun score at its July peak, when rain interrupts barely 4% of days. For a coastal escape in the Mediterranean basin, the data is a good starting point.

Across a typical year, afternoon temperatures swing between 17°C (January) and 30°C (August). On the rain ledger, July is the safest bet at a 4% chance of a wet day, while March climbs to 24%. If 24°C is your bar for proper warmth, count on June–October.

Season by season (on the northern calendar), spring brings 21°C highs with 19% rain-day odds, summer 29°C at 5%, autumn 24°C at 17%, and winter 17°C at 11%. That makes summer the statistical sweet spot (season score 99), with autumn a workable second; winter is where the odds thin out. A practical compromise is October — the edge of the warm window, averaging 24°C with a 91 sun score.
