If you’re considering a trip to Benidorm this summer, then take note. With June just around the corner, many Brits will already be eagerly anticipating the summer holidays.
For those heading to Benidorm in search of sunshine, beaches and cocktails, one Brit who relocated to the Alicante region has issued an important warning to holidaymakers. Harry Poulton regularly shares travel advice and glimpses into his life in Spain, but recently he delivered a more pressing message to his 65,000 social media followers. He began: “This is a warning for anyone coming to Benidorm or if you’re coming out to Benidorm, let me know when.”
He urged his TikTok followers to ensure they bring sun cream or at minimum pack it in their luggage, as it’s considerably more costly to purchase in Benidorm.
Harry added: “You don’t want to end up paying the extortionate prices here in Benidorm and plus, it’s absolutely roasting.
“So the last thing you want is to end up like me and get sunburnt because that’s what I do every single time.
“I never ever buy sun cream, I always leave it to the last minute. I forget about it and end up getting a massive sunburn and I’m just like why have I done that.
“So guys remember to pack sun cream, make sure very important otherwise you’re gonna end up like a lobster.”
How hot is Benidorm in June?
Benidorm enjoys 300 days of sunshine throughout the year. According to the BBC Weather forecast, temperatures are between 27C-29C with sunshine and light winds on the cards.
An extended forecast indicates there will be steady sunshine with occasional breezy spells. So regarding packing sun cream in your luggage, it’s essential.
If you’re travelling in June, conditions are typically perfect for a seaside break. You can anticipate warm, sun-filled days with marginally cooler evenings. Rainfall is exceptionally uncommon and the sea would be pleasantly cool enough for a swim.
Meanwhile if you’re visiting Benidorm in July or August, it’s somewhat warmer. In fact, August is usually the warmest month in Benidorm with temperatures reaching 34C, and evenings remaining around 22C.
The sea temperature sits at approximately 26C. It’s vital to pack sun cream in your luggage as the Mediterranean sunshine is reliably hotter and more prolonged than in England.
