Spain’s state weather agency, Aemet, has placed the province of Alicante under a yellow weather warning for strong winds and coastal conditions. The alert follows a calm Sunday, with unsettled weather returning at the start of the week.
Forecasters say south-westerly winds could reach gusts of more than 60 km per hour in some municipalities. Along the entire Alicante coastline, coastal phenomena are also expected, with waves forecast to reach between 2 and 3 metres.
The warning is scheduled to come into force at 12:00 and remain active throughout the rest of the day. Similar measures were in place over the weekend after a period of severe weather affected parts of the Valencian Community.
Residents are being advised to take care, particularly in exposed coastal areas and during travel, as conditions are expected to remain unsettled for much of the day.
