Weather in Benidorm is well known
for being mild, making it an ideal destination for holiday
makers in both summer & winter. The city & surrounding
areas are sheltered by hills & high mountains, allowing
for a kind of micro climate. This limits rainfall, &
as a result the region enjoys sunshine for in excess
of 320 days per year.
Here the sun is at its hottest during the summer months,
with temperatures rarely falling below 30°C (86°F).
The typically very mild winters boast averages of around
18°C (64°F).
Benidorm is famous for its salt lakes (salt is a major
export). This has a major knock on effect on humidity
levels, & as a result the air is much dryer than
in other parts of Spain & Europe. The low humidity
levels coupled with a mild climate, mean the WHO (World
Health Organisation) have rated this part of Spain one
of the healthiest climates on the planet.
