Generally speaking, the climate is Mediterranean, with clear semi-arid features. Drought is ever-present in the landscape, farm work and in the worries of urban and rural populations. This is one of the driest areas in Europe.
Average annual rainfall is less than 350 mm. Rainfall in Murcia is marked by two distinct features: irregularity from year to year, which is typical of arid lands, and the concentration of rainfall in a few days, with heavy downpours of over 100 mm in a single day, which occasionally result in flooding.
Average annual temperatures range from 15 to 20 ºC. Winters are short, with a few days of below-zero temperatures. Summers are long, hot and dry, with temperatures over 35 ºC on many days.
Aridity determines the morphology of the land, as well as the striking contrast between dry-land and irrigation farming around the Segura River.
