A new storm is approaching
With the start of the week, Catalonia is preparing to face a drastic change in weather conditions. Storm Herminia, which has been forecast by meteorologists, promises to bring with it a panorama of wind and precipitation that will affect multiple regions.
Alerts activated in several areas
The Meteorological Agency of Catalonia has issued warnings for several regions, predicting that the wind will blow with considerable force, with gusts that could reach 90 km/h. This indicates a day marked by intense atmospheric activity.
Most affected areas
The effects of the wind will be most noticeable in the Pyrenees, where orange alerts have been issued in areas such as the Vall d’Aran, Alta Ribagorça and Pallars Sobirà. Likewise, the Ponent wind will also be felt in other parts of northeastern Catalonia and the coast.
Expected precipitation
In addition to strong winds, rain and snow are expected. Meteorologists are predicting significant accumulations of water, with up to 70 liters in certain locations. Snow will begin to fall from 2,200 meters, gradually descending to 1,300 meters as the day progresses.
A shaken apple
The strong wind will also have a considerable impact on the sea, causing alerts for almost the entire Catalan coast, except for some areas of Baix Camp and Baix Ebre. The central coast of Barcelona is expected to be the most affected, with gusts continuing strong throughout Tuesday morning.
Cold conditions and safety tips
Despite the adverse weather conditions, temperatures in many regions are slightly warmer than Sunday. However, experts recommend avoiding outdoor activities, as wind and rain can make going outside dangerous.
Final thoughts
With the arrival of storm Herminia, Catalonia faces a tumultuous start to the week. While nature shows its strength, it is essential that citizens take precautions and stay informed about the evolution of the weather situation.
