Catalonia is preparing for an increase in temperatures
With the arrival of May, Catalonia is fired from a April marked by weather diversity. The influence of the March rains has left a significant imprint, but forecasts indicate that a significant change is staged on the horizon.
A heat wave on the horizon
Meteorologists say that from Thursday, Catalonia will experience a drastic change in its climate. The temperatures will be increased considerably, with a peak that is expected for the weekend. This increase will be accompanied by the presence of Saharan dust, which could influence air quality.
Unusually high temperatures
It is expected that during Saturday and Sunday, thermometers will mark eight and nine degrees above the usual average of this time, a clear indication of the arrival of warm air from the south.
The origin of climate change
The formation of low pressure in the southwest of Catalonia is responsible for this climate turn. This situation will allow the warm air from the African continent to reach the region, as well as dust that can alter visibility and tarnish surfaces.
A spring start with nuances
Prior to increasing temperatures, citizens will wake up with high fog and clouds, maintaining an atmosphere reminiscent of spring. Minor sprinkles are expected in areas of the Pre -Pyrenees and the Pyrenees, as well as in the Terres de l’Ebre, with the possibility of precipitation until dawn.
An early summer?
Meteorological models indicate that this heat wave will not be an isolated episode, but could last for several days. Thus, Catalonia is preparing for a season with higher than normal temperatures, an increasingly common trend in recent springs.
Recommendations to change
Experts advise to be attentive to air quality due to the entry of Saharan dust and staying well hydrated in the face of increase in temperatures. For those who prefer the cold, they will have to be patient, as a long period with ascent thermometers begins.
Final reflections
With this imminent change, Catalonia approaches a summer atmosphere that can alter its routine and the well -being of its inhabitants. Climate variability and the need to adapt to changes are more relevant than ever in a constantly evolving world.
