Averages from long-term coastal records; individual years vary by a few degrees.
The levante (east wind) brings swell to the open beaches and a couple of grey days a few times a year; the poniente (west) brings dry heat in summer. Humidity is high by the sea in August, which is why the Airzone matters at night. The sea is warmest in late August and September and takes until June to climb above 20 °C. The lagoons behind the town make Torrevieja slightly warmer and drier than Alicante in winter, which is the town’s whole pitch.
What a winter break in Torrevieja is like: December to February weather, the Christmas and Three Kings programme, which restaurants, markets and golf courses stay open, and why winter is the best time for the walks.
