Is Torrevieja and surrounding area in any danger from forest fires or natural disasters. What is the current daytime temperature now.

22-25C - 3 minor earthquakes in the last 24 hours - 114 in total in the last 90 days, 3 of M3+. The bottom line: nothing to worry about.

Paul the barber is still there thank God. He cut my mair on 10th. Yesterday
I'm intrigued as to why you are asking this now as you have property here and have visited regularly, however, you can look on here; https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes/spain-past7days.html
And this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1829_Torrevieja_earthquake
There was a 4.2 in 2017, I think, and the epicentre was in a neighbour's field and it felt as if we were on a boat for a few seconds but there was no damage.
Then there are the floods https://www.google.com/search?q=floods+in+torrevieja&rlz=1C1CHBF_enES811ES811&oq=floods+in+torrevieja&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512j0i22i30l2.13392j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Torrevieja is too built up for forest fires but there was a fire recently on scrubland near the pink lake close to the Torretas. Localised fires can crop up on scrubland anywhere in dry periods if people are not careful but are usually dealt with very quickly.
All the lower basin is at risk from Tsunamis and rising sea levels but that will go for all low lying land around the Med.
It depends on how much you want to worry!
