An unusual Tuesday under the storm
Catalonia is preparing for a Tuesday marked by an adverse climate, which could remind the superstitious on the 13th as a sign of bad fortune. Meteorological forecasts point to a significant increase in precipitation during the afternoon, with the possibility of storms that could be especially strong.
Areas of greater risk
The most attentive counties are Ripollès, La Garrotxa, Alt Empordà and Pla de l’Estany. The interaction of a cold air instability front at the heights, along with maritime activity, will create the ideal conditions for violent storms.
Precipitation prognosis
Meteorological models foresee rain accumulations ranging from 30 to 50 mm in some parts of these regions. The maps show intense green and yellow colors, indicating the intensity of the storms that can be expected.
The instability will be felt in the afternoon
Although the morning could begin with a quieter and more sunny atmosphere, the situation will change dramatically as the afternoon progresses. Storms could spread beyond the most affected regions, reaching mountainous areas and its surroundings.
Perspective for Wednesday
Meteorological models anticipate a similar scenario for Wednesday, with early stability and a new episode of storms in the afternoon, which could affect both the interior and northeastern parts of Catalonia. The maximum temperatures could be slightly increased, thus facilitating the development of new storms.
Safety Recommendations
In the face of the possibility of storms and hail, it is important to stay alert, especially on road trips, outdoor activities or in mountainous areas. Torrential rains could cause significant accumulations of water, while hail fall could harm crops and infrastructure. Civil Protection and Meteocat are likely to emit warnings in the coming hours if the weather conditions are worse.
Looking to the future
The climate in Catalonia seems to be in a period of change and instability, and it is essential to follow the weather updates to be prepared before possible unforeseen events. Nature always surprises us, and it is vital to be informed to ensure the safety of all.
