Benidorm Weather

The weather may be out of our control but choosing Benidorm as your holiday destination is a great way to maximise your chances of great weather.

Are you holidaying in August? It's normally the hottest month so remember your sunscreen, keep hydrated and hit the beach (this is also when the sea is at its warmest; a good time for a swim)! And if you are planning some fun on the waves then take a look at our Benidorm water sports page.

As you're treating yourself to a wonderful sunshine holiday why not make flying from the UK as relaxing as possible, just like sunning yourself on a beautiful Benidorm beach will be? Skip those long commutes by staying in a comfortable Airport Hotel the night before you fly. The luxury can continue even while you're waiting for your flight from the UK with access to an Airport Lounge where you can put your feet up and relax before you board.

Does it get too hot?

Even during the months of July and August, temperatures don't typically rise above 30°C, which means that the weather is usually lovely and warm without being excessively hot. That said, it's always best to take precautions, particularly more elderly visitors, babies and/or young children.

It's between midday and 16:00 that temperatures tend to be at their greatest so avoid extended exposure to direct sunshine during these times. Wearing light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes is a good idea, and if you do intend to top up your suntan, make sure you use sunscreen that offers adequate protection.

Just as importantly, be sure to drink lots of water, even if you don't necessarily feel thirsty. On intensely sunny days, sugary, caffeinated drinks or alcohol should be taken in moderation in order to stave off dehydration.

How cold does it get?

While temperatures during the summer months are 'just right' for the majority of visitors, what can you expect during the winter season? Unsurprisingly, the coldest months are normally December and January, with temperature lows of about 7°C. On the flip side, it's not unusual to experience highs of 17°C during these times – the equivalent of t-shirt weather in the UK.

Will it rain?

Of course, it's impossible to predict what the weather is going to do next but, with Benidorm, there's every chance that it will be fine. We know that temperatures are more than tolerable, even in December and January. And rainfall is fairly infrequent, too, and it's quite normal for there to be no rainy days during July and August. During the six months that run from October to March, there tends to be, on average, a little less than four rainy days per month. That's the equivalent of one day in eight featuring rain – not a bad strike rate.
