THIS Thursday has been the warmest December day in years in the Comunidad Valenciana, despite being just after the shortest day of the year.
Hottest day
The record was held by Llíria, in inland Valencia, which reached 24.2ºC, followed by Manises at 23.5ºC.
Alicante city and surrounding areas saw highs of 22ºC, and the rest of the provinces of Valencia and Alicante were all over 20ºC in the shade.
But these temperatures contrast sharply with those seen in the early hours of Thursday morning in various inland towns and villages.
In Villena (Alicante), the morning temperature was 1.4ºC and in Jalance (Valencia) the mercury plummeted to 2.1ºC, whilst residents in La Pobla de Benifassà (Castellón) woke up to see the thermometers having plunged to 4.5ºC.
