Weather outlook in the Region of Murcia on Wednesday August 21
After a scorching weekend with temperatures reaching 40°C in some parts of the Region of Murcia, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief as a slight cooldown is expected from the beginning of this week.
While the weather will still be typically warm for August, temperatures are predicted to align with the average for this time of year.
The past few days have seen dramatic weather changes in the Region, with a DANA bringing heavy rains and even disrupting the commuter train line with Alicante. The storm subsided on Thursday, leaving behind occasional showers.
The long weekend then remained dry and temperatures soared once again, prompting the activation of heat warnings on Sunday.

Day-time temperatures will start to move away from that sweltering 40°C-mark, and the mercury shouldn’t venture past 35°C on Monday. The day will be mostly sunny and bright, except for a little morning cloudiness in the Campo de Cartagena and Vega del Segura.

Partly cloudy skies with intervals of low clouds and morning mist. There is a chance of occasional showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, especially in the mountains of the northwest.
Very few changes temperature-wise.

The forecast is very similar to Tuesday, with partly cloudy or clear skies and the possibility of afternoon showers and thunderstorms in the mountains of the northwest.
Daytime temperatures may drop slightly in inland areas and light easterly breezes will feel more blustery along the coast.

Partly cloudy or clear skies are expected again on Thursday, with more overcast intervals early in the morning. There is a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms in the mountains of the northwest once more, but it should remain dry everywhere else.
