This weekend we have experienced the coldest night time temperatures so far this year. In Villena the temperature dropped to minus 6. In Alicante and on the coast the temperatures were milder at between 2 and 5 degrees centigrade.
The reason for this drop in temperature at night is the combination of cold air coming in from the centre of Europe and cloudless skies. This will change today though as clouds form. The cloud cover at night should keep the temperatures at a more normal 10 degrees. Later in the week, night temperatures are forecast to drop again but not to the levels we felt this weekend.
This cold temperatures have brought with them increases in cases of influenza and respiratory problems. The Conselleria de Sanidad have pointed out that people who have not been vaccinated form 80 percent of the cases of influenza reported so far.
