Dastic changes in time in Catalonia
Spring advances in Catalonia with an increasingly unstable meteorological landscape. From noon onwards, atmospheric conditions will become stormy, with the forecast of strong storms and hail in several counties.
Expectations of storms and hail
Meteorologists have identified an increase in convection that will begin in the middle of the morning, mainly affecting the areas of the Pre -Pyrenees, the Pyrenees, Lleida and parts of Central Catalonia. Initially, the sun will dominate the panorama, but as the day progresses, the clouds will develop rapidly.
Factors contributing to instability
The combination of a sea breeze, cold air in height and convergence lines will create the ideal conditions for severe storms. Rainfall could be very intense, with gusts exceeding 20 mm per hour in some places, and the possibility of hail, especially in Lleida.
Impact of wind and affected areas
Storms will also be accompanied by strong wind gusts that could cause damage to urban and agricultural areas. The most vulnerable regions include the Solsonès, Berguedà, Alt Urgell, Noguera, Segrià, Pla d’Urgell, Bages and Anoia.
Future prognosis
Although the weather conditions improve slightly on Thursday, residual sprinkles are expected. Stormy activity will decrease, but experts warn about the speed with which storms may develop in small areas.
Tips and precautions
It is essential that the population be alert to these meteorological phenomena, especially farmers, who could be severely affected by hail, threatening harvests.
Final reflections
The variability of time in Catalonia is still a reminder of the power of nature. Keep informed and take the necessary measures to ensure your safety and that of your harvests.
