An unexpected turn in time
The weather conditions in Catalonia have undergone significant change. After a week marked by pleasant temperatures and a quiet atmosphere, a new atmospheric front has installed, radically altering the panorama.
Rain and freshness – a surprising day start
From early in the morning, several municipalities have registered significant amounts of precipitation. In Malgrat de Mar, for example, 20 liters have accumulated per square meter during the first hours of the day. The rains are currently concentrating on the central coast and in several areas of the northeast, carrying an air of unexpected freshness.
Factors that drive change
This atmospheric instability is the result of the arrival of cold air in height, which intensifies the adverse weather conditions. The Tramuntana and Mestral winds have also begun to be present, adding an additional layer of complexity to the situation.
Afternoon forecasts: rainy intensification
According to Meteocat’s latest updates, rains are expected to become more intense during the afternoon. In particular, the northeastern part of the country and areas of the Pyrenees are expected to be affected by new episodes of rainfall. One of the most important aspects is the fall of the snow level, which could drop to 2,200 meters.
Impact on high areas
This decrease in snow level can lead to lower altitudes than usual for this time of year, potentially affecting activities in the mountains.
Expectations of temperatures and recommendations
Maximum temperatures will also experience a significant decrease, with a tendency that will be accentuated on Friday. The rains will again be present in the afternoon, especially in the areas of the Pyrenees and the northeast.
Necessary precautions
Experts advise prudence against possible accumulations of water in urban areas, as heavy rains could cause incidents. Those who have travel plans inland or the Pyrenees should follow the weather updates carefully.
A transition to an unstable stage
The current situation anticipates a period of meteorological instability with rains, strong winds and a decrease in temperatures that will be significantly noticeable in the coming hours. The weather in Catalonia is at a time of transition, and you need to be prepared for the variations that are approaching.
