ARCHIVED - Gale force 7 winds in Murcia, but not a drop of rain: weather forecast January 16-22
Unlike much of the rest of the Spain, Murcia will escape largely unscathed from the this week’s storms
Murcia weather warnings, Monday January 16
While other parts of Spain have heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and snow this week, it will be a very different story in the Region of Murcia, which will see largely sunny weather.
Early in the week, though, strong winds in the Region of Murcia have led the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) to issue yellow weather warnings in the southeast and northeast for Monday January 16, extending into the northwest and along the coast on Tuesday. They are predicting gusts of wind of up to 80kmh (50mph) in some areas and waves of between 3 and 4 metres high.

These strong winds will die down as the week goes on, and as yet no weather alerts have been issued for Wednesday, but windspeeds could still be in excess of 35kmh around Cartagena, San Javier and the Mar Menor.
Despite the high winds early this week, as yet there is no rain or snow forecast for Murcia this week, even though the neighbouring provinces of Almeria and Albacete are due to receive heavy rainfall and snowdrifts on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday.
Murcia weather forecast, Wednesday January 18
In Murcia, the forecast is for sunny weather most of the week, with some overcast periods, especially leading into next weekend on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22. But for the most part there will be the same sunny conditions we have come to expect recently, albeit with a notable drop in temperatures.
