A brief respite from the sweltering heat throughout the region is predicted by the Met Office with temperatures expected to fall by 10 degrees tomorrow, Thursday.
From Thursday temperatures are expected to drop brusquely to around 31 degrees and on Saturday may fall as low as 27 degrees with generalized rain throughout the region. Minimums on Thursday and Friday should just fall below the 20 degree mark and Saturday promises a refreshing night at just over 16 degrees.
Calasparra has been sizzling this week as the thermometers marked 40 degrees and above due to a mass of hot air arriving from the Sahara.
