ARCHIVED - The rain returns to Murcia this week: Weather forecast September 12-18
Temperatures take a tumble in Murcia as the summer comes to an end
Murcia weather, Wednesday September 14
After an almost unbroken streak of warm and sunny weather for nearly two months this summer, the beach and pool conditions come to an end this week with the arrival of intermittent rain showers across the whole week.
Monday September 12 will actually be sunny again for most of the day, and continue the trend we have seen of minimum temperatures in excess of 20ºC and maximums in the high 30s.
But from Tuesday 13 onwards, that all begins to change, with a noticeable and sudden change in temperatures and a gathering of storm clouds. Incidentally, ‘Tuesday 13’ is the Spanish equivalent of the superstitious bad-luck day of Friday 13 in the English-speaking world...
Aside from some light rainfall around Caravaca and Moratalla on Tuesday, the first of the rain will be unleashed across the whole Murcia Region on Wednesday morning (pictured). While this will dry up by Wednesday afternoon, and the sun will come back out again for the whole of Thursday and Friday, albeit interspersed with frequent clouds, the weather will take a turn for the worse again as we approach the weekend.
Saturday September 17 will bring rain almost all day, as will Sunday afternoon, accompanied by strong winds of up to 30kmh along the coastal areas and around Cartagena, though at least there may be enough sunny spells to spot a rainbow if we’re lucky.
After an unusually warm summer, some are predicting that this week’s rains signal the start of an autumn-winter season that will bring abnormally heavy precipitation, an example of what is starting to become a common theme – extreme shifts in our weather as a result of our changing climate.
