Drastic changes in the weather with the arrival of December
With the arrival of the December long weekend, Catalonia is preparing for a weather change that promises to be significant. Although the beginning of the weekend seems calm, forecasts indicate that weather conditions will become adverse from Saturday afternoon.
Weather alerts: Meteocat takes action
Meteocat specialists have issued orange and yellow level alerts due to bad weather forecasts that will affect several regions. The Meteorological Service of Catalonia has indicated that the combination of snow, strong winds and freezing temperatures will represent a considerable challenge for the population.
Breaking down the weather: what to expect this weekend
Saturday will start with relatively warm weather, especially in coastal areas. However, this calm will be interrupted by a drastic change in the afternoon, when temperatures will start to plummet, especially in the higher areas of the Pyrenees.
Snow and wind impacts
As the day progresses, the snowfall will intensify, with a significant accumulation of snow that will affect not only the high altitudes but also the low-lying areas. Experts predict that wind gusts could exceed 90 km/h, reducing visibility and complicating traffic conditions.
Sunday: a day of climatic complications
On Sunday, weather conditions are expected to continue to be unfavorable, with heavy snowfall that will persist throughout the day. The peat phenomenon, characterized by snow storms combined with wind, could be present, further complicating situations on mountain roads.
