Murcia prepares for wind, rain and snow: weekly weather forecast February 6-12

Murcia weather forecast, Wednesday February 8

Time to get the hats and scarfs out again – or better yet, the rain macs – as the Region of Murcia prepares for colder temperatures, strong winds, thunderstorms, rain and snow this week. The change in the weather comes just after this January was officially declared one of the three driest so far this century.

There are yellow weather warnings in place in the far northwestern corner of the Murcia Region at the beginning of this week for snow storms which are forecast to leave up to 2cm of snowfall on the ground in areas higher than 1000m above sea level. Visitors to the higher parts of Caravaca and Moratalla should exercise caution when on the roads and out and about on Monday February 6 and Tuesday 7.

Aside from the snow, there will be rain across the north and centre of the Region on Monday afternoon and – apart from a brief dry spell on Tuesday – most of the rest of the week, too.

In fact, there will be heavy rainfall and thunderstorms for the entire Region on Wednesday 8, though the southern municipalities like Águilas and Puerto Lumbreras should get the least of it.

In general, for the remainder of the week, the coastal areas of Murcia, including Mazarrón, Cartagena and up to San Javier, will have an overcast week but there won’t be too much rain – just some isolated showers on Friday 10 and Saturday 11.

Temperatures will feel much cooler this week, with minimums near of just below zero in the north and hovering around 5/6ºC in the southern half. Maximums during the daytime will remain at a consistent 15ºC or so, but some stronger easterly winds than usual, especially towards the end of the week in Cartagena where they will reach up to 30kmh, with “occasionally very strong gusts,” according to Aemet.
