Weather in Autumn

The Costa Blanca and most areas along the Mediterranean coast experience more rain in the autumn than in other seasons. In this area, November is the wettest month of the year.

There are two sources of autumn rainfall in this region. The first is cold air from the north, which reaches the higher temperatures of the Mediterranean Sea. This increases convection, leading to heavy rainfall. Flooding is possible with these rains. The second is the cross Atlantic airflow, which gets stronger in autumn. This causes more active weather fronts.
