Benidorm has no long-running station in the NOAA archive, so this page uses the closest one with a full record over 1991 to 2020: Alicante, on the same Costa Blanca coast about forty kilometres to the south-west. The two towns share the same sea and the same shelter from the mountains inland, and Alicante's figures are a sound guide to Benidorm's beaches. The Costa Blanca is one of the driest parts of Spain. The daytime high goes from 17 °C in January to 31 °C in August, and the whole year brings about 286 mm of rain, much of it in a few autumn storms. Winters are mild and bright enough that long-stay visitors from Britain spend months there. The sea goes from 14 °C in February to 26 °C in August.

Winter in Benidorm: mild, not warm
A winter month in Benidorm is a good deal kinder than one at home, but it is not beach weather. January averages 17 °C by day and 7 °C at night, with 3 days of rain; the sea, 15 °C, is for the brave. What makes the Costa Blanca popular in winter is the light and the dryness: few grey days, low rainfall and short spells of rain. For a winter stay that includes swimming in the sea, the Canary Islands are warmer by about five degrees in both the air and the water.
Spring arrives early here. By April the daytime high is 22 °C, a couple of degrees ahead of Majorca.
