A temporary breath before the storm
Catalonia will enjoy a brief period of meteorological calm until Thursday. With recent rain, on Tuesday and Wednesday, they promise to be sunny, offering an opportunity for outdoor activities before the weather conditions deteriorate.
Two suns of sun: a spring gift
The next two days will be marked by warmer temperatures and a radiant sun, with mornings that will remind us of the imminent arrival of astronomical spring. Despite this, in southern Catalonia, the rains could be present with more insistence.
Preparations for Thursday’s lift
From Thursday, a lift is expected to carry a set of adverse conditions, including heavy rain, strong winds and a hectic sea. The interaction between an area of high pressure in the Balkans and a low in North Africa will create a passage of winds that will affect the Catalan coast.
Impact of the wind and the sea
Barcelona will witness a significant increase in the wind, with gusts that could exceed 60 km/h, especially near the coast. The waves could reach heights of more than 3 meters, warning of the danger of the sea during this period.
Rain expectations: Where will you fall most?
Meteorological models suggest that the counties of Girona and the south of Tarragona will be the most affected by the rains, with possibilities of important accumulations. However, other regions may also experience rainfall, albeit with less intensity.
Snow and odds
The snow expectations at low levels are low, with the snow level above 1,800 meters. Thus, the conditions do not seem favorable for a significant snowfall in the lower areas.
A new storm on the horizon
At the weekend, the arrival of a new storm that could intensify adverse weather conditions is expected. This storm, called Jana, could wear additional rain and affect various parts of Catalonia.
Expected impact and possible consequences
The models provide that the storm will generate a new episode of rain, with a particular focus on the heads of the rivers, where significant amounts could be recorded. However, the final impact will depend on the exact trajectory of the storm.
Expectations about reservoirs
The reservoirs of Catalonia, which are currently at 31%, are waiting for these rains to see a significant improvement. The situation is optimistic, as the moisture of the accumulated soil can help to absorb the precipitation planned.
Water prospects for spring
With possible rains on the horizon, water reserves could see a significant increase, which is essential for the hottest months to come. The definitive balance will be known soon, but expectations are positive for water resource management.
