A quick weather update from Murcia today shows temperatures still at a scorching thirty seven degrees. Things are expected to get a little cooler over the weekend however Murcia is still on yellow alert according to the Spanish Meteorological Group.
Things are also heating up on the Costa Del Sol with Malaga reaching heights of thirty eight degrees while the temperature in Alicante is thirty three degrees and in Granada thirty four degrees.
Remember to be sun aware and limit the amount of time you spend exposed to the sun during peak times (12 to 4). Too much sun can ruin a holiday and in the worst cases may require hospital treatment. Be sensible and use high spf sun protection especially if fair skinned. It will take a while for your body to adjust to the heat if you are resident in the UK.

As the heatwave continues in Murcia there have been some reports of sunstroke. It is important to take precautions in the sun particularly for those who are not used to such conditions. Here are some tips to stay safe:
• Try to limit the amount of time you spend in the sun during peak temperature times between 12 and 4pm. You will be surprised at how quickly you can burn. For fair skinned people it could take less than ten minutes.
• Sun protective clothing is something worth considering. These are available with UV protection ratings of between fifteen and fifty.
• Hats are a good idea preferably something with a wide brim. These can offer excellent protection for sensitive areas such as the ears and neck.
• Considering how hot it is in Murcia at the moment many experts are recommending sun cream with a factor of at least thirty. This should be put on around every two hours when out in the sun. A water resistant cream is a good idea.
• Be active and move about as regularly during the day. This will be good for getting an overall tan rather than possibly getting burnt in certain places.
