Steve Cooper takes his team to Valencia this afternoon, with Nottingham Forest in action in Spain tomorrow evening. With freezing temperatures covering England, many are wondering: what is the temperature in Valencia for tomorrow’s friendly?
The Reds took on Valencia in the summer. That particular game was held at Meadow Lane, with the City Ground not quite up to speed with the work that needed doing for Premier League football.
Forest gave the La Liga outfit a good game as supporters basked in the sunshine at the home of Notts County. Carlos Soler scored for the visitors but a second-half goal from Brennan Johnson ensured the game finished level.
What is the temperature in Spain for Valencia v Nottingham Forest?
It’s rare that it’s cold in the coastal city of Valencia. Known for his arts, sciences and futuristic structures, the city boasts several beaches and places to go for fulfilling and scenic walks.
But will Forest fans need their shorts packed when they head for the airport? Well, to say we’re just over a week away from Christmas, the weather is going to be pretty good for the Reds faithful.
Forest play Valencia at 19:30 local time and the temperature is set to be around 18 degrees. It’s as high as it’s going to be on Friday and after the game, temperatures may drop to 12 degrees.
The game should provide Forest with a good test. Not only will they face a good team but they will also have to contend with some warm weather ahead of their Premier League return.
The hottest temperature in Valencia
The hottest-ever temperature record in Valencia is 40.3 degrees, which was set in August 2010. The same temperature was recorded again in May 2015.
Forest face stern test against Valencia
This will be a tough test for the Reds. It will be interesting to see whether Cooper sticks with his rotation from the other three friendlies, or plays a more settled team.
Forest head to Blackburn next week in the Carabao Cup. As a result, the Forest boss might have one eye on that game during tomorrow’s friendly.
The Reds will be itching to get back to action. Their form prior to the World Cup was decent and they will want to carry on in such fashion when things resume.
