Cool start gives way to scorching temperatures: Murcia weather forecast Aug 7-10

After a stifling weekend, the week will get off to a relatively cool start in the Region of Murcia, with temperatures staying in the comfortable low to mid 30s. However, the third heatwave of the year is winging its way towards Spain and many parts of the Region can expect the temperatures to ramp up by an incredible 10ºC by Wednesday.

Monday August 7

Monday will be slightly cloudy or clear throughout the day, although the early morning and late evening will likely be overcast. Nighttime temperatures are on the rise, particularly along the coast and Campo de Cartagena while the mercury will take an overall dip at the height of the day. Light easterly winds will grow in strength in the afternoon and feel more intense along the coast.

Minimum and maximum temperatures on Monday

Caravaca de la Cruz: 16ºC to 33ºC

Cartagena: 25ºC to 30ºC

Lorca: 25ºC to 34ºC

Murcia: 24ºC to 33ºC
