Cold air masses entering the peninsula are already affecting the province of Alicante, and their consequences are beginning to be felt. During the first night of the cold wave, temperatures have plummeted, dropping below zero in the inland regions.

According to data from the Valencian Meteorological Association (Avamet), Villena has experienced the lowest temperatures, nearing -7 degrees Celsius. Other mountainous areas have also faced frosts and low temperatures.

In Xixona, temperatures have fallen below minus five degrees, while Onil and Agres have recorded -4 degrees. Several municipalities have registered negative figures: Pinoso, Confrides, Muro de Alcoi, and Hondón de los Grailes are just a few of these towns.

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) explains that the arrival of cold air has calmed the winds that prevailed over the weekend, although there has been "a significant drop in temperatures, with frosts inland." The urban area of Villena has dropped to -3.7 degrees, while the outskirts of the municipality have approached -7 degrees.

In coastal areas, minimum temperatures have been milder, with thermometers reading between six and eight degrees, although in places like Finestrat or Tabarca, they have not dropped below 10 degrees.

The Aemet forecasts a week of considerable cold. Frosts and sub-zero temperatures will be common in inland areas. In the city of Alicante, minimum temperatures will hover around four degrees until Friday, while maximums will not exceed 16 degrees.

In mountainous regions, temperatures will be more extreme, with highs not exceeding ten degrees and lows potentially dropping below zero, although sunny weather will accompany during these cold days.
