ARCHIVED - Much cooler start to this weekend: Murcia weather outlook August 19-21
Friday and Saturday will be more comfortable in the Murcia Region but the mercury will rise again come Sunday
The Region of Murcia has been marginally more comfortable this week, the mercury dropping considerably from the lofty temperatures experienced at the crux of the most recent heatwave to maximums in the mid to high 30s.
This trend will continue through most of the weekend before the thermometers take another upswing on Sunday.
There are no weather warnings whatsoever to begin the weekend on Friday August 19. On the contrary, things will be nicely settled with the thermometers peaking at 34ºC while the nights will be a little more bearable too.
The day could be slightly cloudy overall with loose variable winds coming from the east.
Minimum and maximum temperatures on Friday
Caravaca de la Cruz: 15ºC min; 34ºC max
Cartagena: 23ºC; 30ºC
Lorca: 20ºC; 32ºC
Murcia: 20ºC; 34ºC
Yecla: 15ºC; 33ºC
Mostly cloudy or clear skies again on Saturday August 20 with very little change to the day-time temperatures, although most municipalities will see the thermometers creep up by a degree or so. A light wind is forecast, tending to be breezier along the coast.
Minimum and maximum temperatures on Saturday

The outlook changes a little on Sunday August 21, when that one degree increase from the day before becomes an additional two or three. Inland areas will once again likely exceed 36ºC while the coast, as usual, will be much cooler.
On the plus side, it’s another evening free of tropical temperatures which means a good night’s sleep, with the minimum temperatures topping out at 23ºC in Cartagena.
