ARCHIVED - Murcia set to melt this weekend: check if your area will reach boiling point
Certain towns in the Region of Murcia will reach a scalding 44ºC on Saturday August 13
While many communities in Spain are looking forward to a considerable cool-down early next week, the Murcia Region is bracing itself for one of the hottest weekends of the summer. And that’s saying something, since it has already registered some of highest temperatures in the country so far this year.
No reprieve just yet though, with the thermometers expected to sizzle, particularly on Saturday August 13. The municipality of Murcia itself will bear the brunt, suffering temperatures as high as 44ºC, keeping the area firmly in an orange level alert all weekend.
In fact, the mercury has already started to creep up this afternoon (Friday August 12), reaching a sweltering 39ºC at the height of the day and failing to dip below 21ºC tonight.
Caravaca de la Cruz will easily reach the lofty heights of 40ºC on Saturday while in the Altiplano area, Yecla will maintain an average of 39ºC all weekend aside from a spike of one degree on the 13th.
In Lorca, a notable increase in thermometers is expected, which will rise from 38ºC this Friday to 42 on Saturday, with a new level orange alert in place.
Cartagena will once again 'enjoy' the mildest temperatures in the Region of Murcia this weekend. Today, the maximum in the port city will be 35ºC with the mercury falling to a still-stifling 24ºC tonight. The thermometers will rise to 37ºC on Saturday, before stabilising somewhat on Sunday August 14 and descending to 35ºC.
