Summer on the Costa Blanca: Sunshine, Mediterranean Lifestyle… and High Temperatures
The Costa Blanca is famous for its more than 300 sunny days per year, beautiful beaches, outdoor lifestyle and exceptional quality of life. Every summer thousands of people travel here to enjoy the Mediterranean climate, while many others have chosen this region as their permanent home.
This week, however, the Costa Blanca is experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures reaching 40°C (104°F) in some areas. Although the sunshine is one of the biggest attractions of Spain, it’s important to take a few simple precautions to stay comfortable and healthy.
How to Stay Safe During a Heatwave
1.   Stay Hydrated
Drink water throughout the day, even when you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid excessive alcohol and sugary drinks, as they increase dehydration.
2.   Avoid the Hottest Hours
Try to stay indoors between 12:00 and 17:00, when the sun is at its strongest.
If you do go outside:
- wear light clothing
- wear a hat
- use sunglasses
- apply high SPF sunscreen regularly
3.   Keep Your Home Cool
Many properties on the Costa Blanca are designed for warm climates.
Some useful tips:
- Close shutters during the afternoon.
- Open windows early in the morning and late evening.
- Use ceiling fans or air conditioning efficiently.
- If your home has a swimming pool, enjoy a refreshing dip throughout the day.

4.   Eat Light Meals
Fresh fruit, vegetables and salads help your body stay hydrated.
Watermelon, melon, oranges and cucumber are perfect summer foods.
5.   Take Care of Vulnerable People
Children, elderly people and pets are more sensitive to high temperatures.
Never leave children or animals inside a parked car—even for a few minutes.
6.   Plan Outdoor Activities Wisely
The best moments to walk, cycle or play golf are:
- Early morning
- Late evening
Luckily, the Costa Blanca offers beautiful evenings with pleasant temperatures after sunset.
