Weather Overview for Torrevieja
Summer, from June to September, is very hot with temperatures in the high 20s to low 30s throughout the season. The average high temperature peaks in August at 31°C. July is the sunniest month with around eleven hours of sunshine per day. Rainfall is very low . In early summer a cooling sea breeze often helps to temper the temperature and humidity can be low making the heat easier to acclimatize to. Beaches are full and sea water temperature is glorious
Autumn in October and November, is still gorgeously warm. The average high temperature drops to 24°C in October and 20°C in November, while night times are decidedly cool at 14°C and 10°C respectively. Sunshine levels are reduced but it is still sunny for around six or seven hours per day. The sea is warm enough for swimming until the very end of the season. However, this is the area’s rainiest season… which isn’t really saying much; the season can expect around 100 mm of rain in total. This usually falls in short, heavy outbursts, often with thunder and lightning.
Winter, from December till February, is warm to cool with little rain. It can be overcast but the area still sees around six hours of sunshine per day which is blissful in comparison to UK´s one hour per day in December. The temperature is very susceptible to sunshine and on clear days it can get up near 20°C, though a cold wind often blows making it colder again. The average high temperature is 16°C in January which is the coldest month. Average lows around 6°C. On very sunny days there will be a small crowd on the beach but only the very brave in the sea
Spring, from March till May, is a great time to enjoy warmth without crowds. The average high temperature gets up to 19°C in March, 20°C in April and 23°C in May. Sunshine steadily increases and rain becomes even more unlikely. However, cold breezes can raise Goosebumps and night times can be fresh. April and May are good times of year to visit; the sea is getting warmer and the sun comes out for nine hours per day and rain is very rare.
