ARCHIVED - The best videos and photos of the rain, wind and snow in Murcia yesterday

Some incredible images have been shared online of the snow and stormy weather in the Murcia Region this week

<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - The best videos and photos of the rain, wind and snow in Murcia yesterday

It’s a game of two halves in the Region of Murcia this week. On Monday and Tuesday, the Region has seen battering winds that have damaged the coastline, the eighth highest level of rainfall in the country in Mazarrón, and snowdrifts that cut road access to the northern mountains.

From today, Wednesday April 6, though, the weather should begin to clear up and, aside from some rain and wind around Cartagena and the Mar Menor first thing in the morning, the sun will come out and begin to heat up the Region for the rest of the week.

These are the best videos that have been shared on social media by the emergency services working to clear the snow and ensure people stay safe in the Sierra Espuña and in Caravaca de la Cruz.

In the first, the Protección Civil Emergency services can barely see out of their front windscreen as they drive through the Campo de San Juan along the RM-702 road because of the driving snow.

Things calmed down a bit for the Sierra Espuña Park rangers, who shared an eerily beautiful video of a drive through the snowy mountains at an altitude of 1,200 metres.

Meanwhile, firefighters were clearing the snow with snowploughs “throughout the north-west, keeping the roads in good condition and saving those people who were trapped”.

Down in Mazarrón, there wasn’t any snow but the strong winds there certainly caused their own problems, as the Local Police warned of falling trees and tiles falling off rooftops, “among other things”.

🌬🌪Los efectos del temporal de viento han supuesto requerimientos e intervenciones de nuestras patrullas por caída de árboles y desprendimiento de tejados, entre otras.
👮‍♂️Se han realizado las gestiones oportunas para asegurar la zona y retirar el peligro.#policialocalmazarron pic.twitter.com/r7UxdLArRc

In Águilas, that wind was strong enough to damage the port, but it did leave us with this incredible photo of the lighthouse at Punta Negra:
