A much more settled weekend: Murcia weather forecast October 17-20

It should be clear and calm this weekend, with temperatures even rising slightly

After some dramatic weather conditions earlier this week, the Region of Murcia is forecast to have a much calmer weekend ahead.

With Tuesday’s rain, there were warnings of possible flooding, which eventually came to very little, and it wasn’t nearly as bad as the weather forecasters and the Emergency Services had feared.

Then, on Thursday morning, October 17, the Region was once again placed on yellow alert by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) for strong winds, but again they were short-lived in most areas and didn’t cause any major damage.

Air quality has also improved across the Region with the passing of the ‘calima’ or Saharan dust which had been hanging around in the air.

For Friday October 18, Aemet forecasts “fairly cloudy skies with intervals of low morning clouds in the northwest, tending to cloudy with high clouds at the end of the day” with only “light to moderate north-westerly winds inland,” though they admit it will be breezier on the coast, up to around 25kmh.

Saturday 19 should bring more cloudy skies, but these will clear up over the course of the morning, leaving a sunny day with light, breezy winds, very similar to the conditions forecast for Sunday 20.

Temperatures over the weekend will be largely unchanged, maybe a degree or two higher than earlier in the week.

Aemet is provisionally forecasting more rain for Tuesday and Wednesday next week, October 22 and 23, though this could change as we get closer.
