A drastic change in the weather panorama
Starting this Thursday afternoon, Catalonia is preparing for a radical change in atmospheric conditions. Meteorological authorities, including Meteocat, have issued alerts for a phenomenon that will bring intense wind, cold and even snow to various areas of the territory.
The end of the calm and the arrival of the wind
The calm days that have characterized the last few weeks are about to become history. Although temperatures have been cool, especially in Lleida and the Pyrenean areas, the climate has remained stable with sunny days and cold nights. However, the panorama will change drastically with the arrival of strong gusts of wind.
Most affected areas
Weather alerts have been triggered mainly by the tramuntana and mestral winds, which will dominate the scene for the next few days. It is expected that, in some regions, the wind speed will reach figures close to 80 km/h, a situation that requires extreme caution.
Forecasts for the weekend and Christmas
The unstable weather forecast for this weekend will mark the beginning of winter with a windy and icy environment. Temperatures will be affected, especially in the higher areas, where snowfall will be a reality. However, meteorologists predict a calm Christmas Day, with stable temperatures and sunshine, providing a contrast to the adverse conditions that will precede the holidays.
Tips for snow enthusiasts
Snow enthusiasts heading to the slopes of the Pyrenees should exercise extreme caution. The expected wind could complicate conditions, so it is essential to check weather updates and be prepared for possible inconveniences.
Final thoughts on the changing climate
Autumn in Catalonia reminds us of its variable and unpredictable nature. With the arrival of this powerful wind, it is essential to be informed and act prudently. Meteorology teaches us to be flexible and adapt to changes, and now more than ever, safety must be our priority.
