A gathering of good news for Catalonia
Francesc Mauri, the well -known TV3 meteorologist, has recently shared an optimistic view of the climatic conditions that are expected in Catalonia. After a spring winter and spring marked by remarkable humidity, the forecasts indicate that the clouds would continue to be presented in the meteorological landscape.
Promising water levels
Water storage such as Baells and Sant Ponç have shown a significant increase in their filling levels. This has generated an air of optimism for both experts and population, who hopes to see if reservoirs such as Sau and Susqueda will also see an improvement.
Summer weekend before rain
The evening weekend promises stable time, with warm temperatures that will remember more in summer than in spring. However, this period of calm will be ephemeral, as from Monday, May 19, a significant increase in temperatures.
The arrival of key precipitation
From the 22nd, a adjustment in the temperatures is expected to coincide with a new wave of rain. Francesc Mauri described this moment as an ‘important movement’, which could bring water to the needy areas.
Impact on reservoirs
The expected rains could be generous, especially in the Ter and Llobregat basins, directly impacting on the level of the reservoirs of Susqueda and Sau, which have been severely affected by the drought. With a similar precedent in May 2015, the recovery could be quick if the conditions are favorable.
A future full of opportunities
Current predictions generate a sense of renewed hope in sectors such as agriculture, tourism and water management. Although it is premature to declare victory, weather models seem to indicate that we could be facing a significant change in water conditions.
So, it’s time to enjoy the good weather offered by the weekend, as we prepare for the possible rainfall that could come next week. If the rains materialize, Francesc Mauri’s happiness will become a reality shared by many Catalans, remembering that spring is always a sign of life.
