The anticyclone keeps Atlantic fronts away and its warm ridge causes the thermometer to rise sharply during the day. This Sunday, for example, temperatures already approached 30 °C in Poniente, with 29.5 °C recorded in Alcarràs. The weather will remain spring-like everywhere on this final day of Holy Week and we will enjoy a 'dia de la mona' with temperatures more typical of May than early April. Only some changes are expected at the end of the week, with the approach of a front that could bring showers to the Pyrenees and a slightly cooler atmosphere.

An anticyclonic ridge embraces us and is causing the weather to remain fully spring-like in our territory. On one hand, we have a high-pressure center over the Bay of Biscay and another over the western Mediterranean. All of this causes the wind to be null or very weak and, furthermore, allows the atmosphere to warm up, especially at midday. Therefore, the last stretch of Easter will continue to be stable and with clear skies. Only some change is expected at the end of next week, with the proximity of a front that could bring showers and a slightly cooler atmosphere.

The Azores High will continue to guarantee good weather in our area during this Easter week, with sunshine and mild temperatures that will usher us fully into spring, after a few days of strong winds and snow in the Pyrenees. With this weather, you can fully enjoy the snowfall that has occurred in the Pyrenees, where in some cases there is more than 2 or 2.5 meters of snow, a thickness significantly higher than usual at the beginning of April. Mid next week, however, new changes could arrive with more atmospheric instability.

Over the past few hours, a pocket of cold air descending from northern Europe has swept across the region, bringing showers to areas of Girona, Barcelona, ​​the Pyrenees, the Pre-Pyrenees, and some stretches of the southern coast. The change in weather was sudden in these areas on Sunday afternoon and evening, following a generally mild and sunny first weekend of spring. Snow also fell again in the mid and high elevations of the Pyrenees. Between yesterday and early this morning, accumulations of 10 to 15 liters per square meter were recorded in the northern parts of Girona, and 1 to 8 liters per square meter in many other areas, accompanied by some local thunderstorms. In contrast, not a drop fell in the western part of the country and much of the southern half. Today, World Meteorological Day, the weather won't clear completely, but very little rain is expected, and from tomorrow onwards, sunshine and calm conditions will generally return.

The first weekend of spring has been radiant and windy. Temperatures have remained relatively mild, generally ranging between 17°C and 20°C this Saturday. This morning, we again experienced a marked temperature contrast between the cold and frosty mornings and the more pronounced mildness at midday. In fact, some weather stations in the Pyrenees recorded a temperature swing of almost 20°C between day and night (in Pont de Suert, with a high of 17°C and a low of -3°C).

Astronomical spring arrived at 3:46 p.m. yesterday, bringing with it the return of the sun and calmer weather. There has also been a marked temperature contrast between the cold and frosty mornings and the more pronounced mildness at midday. And this calm will continue through the first weekend of spring. We can expect a pleasant day today, with, with few exceptions, uniform temperatures across the region. Sunday will be a pleasant day, but from the afternoon onwards, the approach of a small pocket of cold air will bring renewed instability. From then on, some showers are expected in the northeast and the Pyrenees, which will spread throughout the night.

The weather won't clear completely, and full stability won't arrive this week. We won't be seeing large amounts of accumulated rainfall, but there will still be a flow of humid air from the sea towards the ground and cold air aloft due to the proximity of a new Atlantic low-pressure system. This situation will make the weather changeable, with more showers, especially during the afternoons. Rain will be scarce in most of the country, and there will even be many periods of calm and sunshine. However, precipitation will return to the Valencian Community on Tuesday due to the passage of a cut-off low that will mainly affect the southern and western half of the peninsula. Catalonia will remain more unaffected by this situation, although some instability will persist. All of this comes after a weekend that has been still eventful and very changeable following the easterly winds (you will find a summary of the most significant rainfall data from the last few days at the end of this report).

The remnants of the last disturbance are still being felt, and rain has returned, adding new amounts to the more than 200 l/m² already recorded.² accumulated throughout the entire episode. The last showers on Saturday left between 20 and 40 liters per square meter on the southern coast and pre-coastal areas, although in several cases these figures were exceeded. The interior and pre-coastal areas of the northeast and south of the Ebro River are the areas where the most water accumulated during this entire episode, and in some cases, rainfall exceeded 150 or 200 liters per square meter (you will find all the most relevant updated data at the end of this report). The downpours of these last few days have caused the courses of many Catalan rivers to rise, some of which are saturated with the amount of water that has accumulated in recent months. Some have reached the flood risk threshold, such as the Ter in Sant Joan de les Abadesses (Ripollès), the Ges in Torelló (Osona), the Brugent in Amer (Selva), and the Muga in Sant Llorenç de la Muga (Alt Empordà).

The easterly winds have been relentless in recent hours, bringing almost 48 hours of continuous and heavy rain. Accumulations along the coast and pre-coastal areas range from 30 to 60 liters per square meter, but in several cases, these figures have been exceeded. The interior and pre-coastal areas of the northeast and south of the Ebro River have seen the heaviest rainfall during this storm, with some areas already exceeding 150 or 200 liters per square meter (you will find all the most relevant updated data at the end of this report). This has caused many rivers, whose courses are saturated from the heavy rainfall of recent months, to swell. Some have reached the flood stage, such as the Ter River in Sant Joan de les Abadesses (Ripollès), the Ges River in Torelló (Osona), the Brugent River in Amer (Selva), and the Muga River in Sant Llorenç de la Muga (Alt Empordà).

The high-pressure system that settled over us this weekend will continue to bring very mild weather for much of this coming week. Blocking the passage of storms means that winds will be weak or nonexistent. Furthermore, solar radiation begins to intensify from this time of year, all of which contributes to a very pleasant atmosphere, with spring-like temperatures at times during the middle of the day. Yesterday, highs reached nearly 23 or 24°C in some areas of the pre-coastal region, the interior of the Girona region, and the Ebro Valley. In Aldover (Baix Ebre), temperatures reached 23.9°C, in Vallirana (Baix Llobregat) 23.5°C, and in the city of Girona, 22°C. In Vinebre and El Masroig, temperatures climbed to 21°C, and in Vielha, 19°C. We can expect sunny days, morning fog or mist, thermal inversion - colder mornings at lower elevations than at higher elevations - and a marked thermal contrast between day and night, with an oscillation that can reach more than 20 °C between day and night in the interior of the country.

The weather will remain calm and dominated by high pressure. This weekend has been mild, with highs reaching 20°C in Girona and Vall d'en Bas yesterday, for example. Temperatures generally ranged between 16°C and 18°C, with a warm feel due to the increasing intensity of solar radiation at this time of year. The anticyclone will settle in for the next few days, bringing sunshine, morning fog, and a marked temperature contrast between the cool mornings and the pre-spring-like warmth we'll experience at midday – the temperature difference could exceed 20°C. Therefore, the longest period of stable weather so far this year begins, following two consecutive months of storms and fronts that have brought rain, snow, and exceptional winds. In fact, since January 1st we've had ten storms, and since the start of the season – September 1st – we've had sixteen, extraordinary figures.

A radiant weekend is about to begin, perfect for enjoying everywhere without exception, with a pre-spring feel at midday. We'll be leaving behind the gale-force winds, which have clearly subsided in recent hours, after producing gusts of over 100 km/h in the far reaches of the country and at high altitudes (you'll find the most important data on this episode at the end of this report). A high-pressure system will settle in and stay with us for several days, bringing sunshine, morning fog, and a contrasting temperature between the morning chill and the pre-spring-like warmth we'll experience at midday. Therefore, the longest period of stable weather so far this year begins, after two consecutive months of storms and fronts that have brought us extraordinary rain, snow, and strong winds. In fact, since January 1st, we've been affected by nine storms, and since the start of the season – September 1st – we've had sixteen, an extraordinary number.

Atlantic storms are arriving in Catalonia these days weakened and not bringing much precipitation. In fact, we expect new fronts to arrive at the start of this week. The warm front arriving on Tuesday is particularly noteworthy because, beyond bringing precipitation mainly to the Ponent and Pyrenees regions, it will cause a significant rise in temperatures and the snow level. Mild weather is expected, bringing us the first taste of spring. For now, this Monday will see an increase in cloud cover, and the westerly wind will temporarily weaken and shift to the southwest. But strong winds will be the main feature this week, and between Wednesday and Thursday they could be significant in many areas.

The storm Marten It crossed our territory in the early hours and again in the morning, but it was weakened and inactive. Light rainfall fell from west to east, totaling no more than 3 or 4 liters per square meter.² (3 l/m² in Fogars de la Selva, 2.8 l/m² in Cabrils and in Malgrat de Mar and 2 l/m² in Barcelona). As it passes and after its rapid retreat, there will be northwesterly and tramontana winds. In fact, the dynamics will be similar in the last front (during the early hours of Saturday there were gusts of up to 70/80 km/h in the Camp de Tarragona, the Alt Penedès and the Montserrat massif).

Before the storm passed Marten, During the early hours of this morning, a line of instability crossed the area, bringing light showers with scant amounts (tenths of a liter in Pla de Lleida, 2 l/m²).² in Alinyà or 3 l/m²With the passage of this front, westerly winds have arrived, with strong gusts reaching up to 80 km/h in Montserrat (Sant Dimes), 74 km/h in Font-rubí, and 71 km/h in Miami Platja. Generally, today will be sunny with very good visibility, and a westerly wind will still be blowing. However, starting tonight and continuing through the night and early morning, an Atlantic storm will cross the area. MartenThe seventh major storm of the year and the thirteenth of the season. It will reach Catalonia weakened, but will bring light rain to practically everywhere. On Sunday, there will be some spray in the northeast and the Pyrenees, with northerly winds in the extremes. Marten It will bring a lot of rain to Andalusia again, where it's already raining on wet ground.

We're starting the week with another snowfall across the Pyrenees. This latest episode is mainly affecting the northern slopes and the High Pyrenees, but it has also hit the southern slopes. Therefore, this Monday all the Pyrenean valleys are once again blanketed in snow, from Ripollès to Vall d'Aran. The 20 cm of fresh snow accumulated in Puigcerdà, in the Cerdanya region (1,200 m), is particularly noteworthy.

Yesterday's snowfall left significant accumulations in regions that don't usually see so much snow. The cold air mass associated with a low-pressure system caused the snow level to drop to 300 meters. There were a few isolated snowfalls near the coast, such as on Tibidabo. However, the heaviest accumulations were in regions like Moianès, Segarra, and Berguedà (between 10 and 15 cm). Montsant also saw accumulations of around 15 cm (Prades). Further data on accumulated snow and rainfall are included at the end of this article.

Heavy rain, snow, and strong gusts of wind have been reported in several parts of the country. The weather change this Saturday has been intense and very rapid, generated by a low-pressure system with very cold air aloft associated with the storm. IngridLocated on the Atlantic coast, Catalonia has experienced heavy and intense snowfall above 600 meters, beginning in the morning in the west and gradually easing throughout the afternoon. The forecast for tonight is for the storm to move eastward, bringing heavy showers, particularly to the Alt Empordà region. This Saturday, snow has been prevalent in the Segarra, Solsonès, Berguedà, Cerdanya, Ripollès, Bages, Alta Anoia, Moianès, and Selva regions, with notable accumulations such as 15 centimeters in Vilallonga de Ter and 10 centimeters in Sant Llorenç de Ter. Snow has also been seen near the coast and, in fact, has dusted the summit of Tibidabo, near Barcelona, ​​at an altitude of around 500 meters. Social media has begun to fill with videos and images from users who have witnessed the snow, which is unusual at such low elevations.

The unsettled weather offers no respite, and this weekend will bring the peak of the effects of the powerful Atlantic storm. Ingrid At our house. It will rain everywhere this morning, and in the afternoon the showers will be more concentrated in the northeast and the Pyrenees. Be careful with the snow level, as it will drop to 800 or 600 meters – and locally lower – and we will see snow outside the Pyrenees at relatively low elevations. A blast of cold air will arrive, causing temperatures to plummet, with a distinctly colder and more wintry feel. Sunday will be changeable, with a new front expected from the afternoon onwards. All of this will be accompanied by strong winds in various regions.

The episode of rain and snow that began over the weekend will reach its peak in the coming hours. Both Monday and Tuesday will be under the influence of the storm. HarryThis Mediterranean storm will bring easterly winds to our country, generating abundant rainfall, heavy snowfall in the eastern Pyrenees, and very rough seas along the entire coast, especially the Costa Brava and the central coast. It's raining on already saturated ground, which is why several reservoirs in the inland basins, which are practically full, continue to release water to make room for the new rainfall. Over the weekend, more than 100 l/m² accumulated in regions like Conca de Barberà and Priorat, and more than 80 or 90 l/m² were recorded in Camp de Tarragona. In the western Pyrenees, new snow depths exceeded 90 cm in Boí (2,500 m) and 60 cm in Espot (2,400 m). You will find more data and records of rainfall and snowfall at the end of this report.
