The weather will continue to be dominated by the influence of an Atlantic storm, Bruna, which although it will not affect us directly, will have an influence on our local weather situation. This Monday, a more defined Atlantic front will arrive, with abundant cloud cover that will keep the sky overcast for practically the entire day and with some scattered drizzles or showers that will move from west to east. The temperature will start to rise, especially the minimum, and it will be necessary to wait until Tuesday and Wednesday to reach the peak maximum temperature. The traditional Saint Martin's summer will arrive punctually for its annual appointment.

The Atlantic storm Bruna will continue to send fronts towards our territory and will keep bringing plenty of rain to the west of the Peninsula. In Catalonia, very little water is expected, at least this Sunday, and beyond some drizzle or very weak showers during the afternoon, the day is expected to be quite calm. Nevertheless, a more active front could leave more widespread light rain or weak showers heading into Monday afternoon and during the early hours of Tuesday. Temperatures will clearly rise starting Sunday, as the counter-clockwise rotation of this storm – located off the western peninsular coast – will push warmer south-westerly winds towards us, a prelude to the traditional St. Martin's summer.

The anticyclonic calm that we have had during the weekend will continue during this last week of October, which will end with the celebration of the Castanyada. There will be no notable meteorological news, with no rainfall in sight and with temperatures that will experience ups and downs. We will start the week with afternoons warmer than they should be at this time of year, and we will end it with lower maximums that are normal for the dates. Mind you, watch out for the thermal contrast between the cool mornings and the pleasantness of the afternoons, we will have to dress in layers. With the current maps, it seems that the night of the Castanyada will also be calm and between cool and cold, with the usual values for these dates.

The calm of the last few days will continue into this Sunday, after a cooler Saturday with a sky veiled by the presence of high clouds. The sun will try to prevail, although bands of high clouds will still arrive that will not manage to cover it. Where there will be more clouds is on the northern side of the Pyrenees, where some minor precipitation will arrive towards the afternoon. The coming week will continue to be marked by stability and by a temperature that will rise a little more.

The calm of the last few days will continue over the weekend, as we are under the influence of the Azores anticyclone. However, tails of very worn-out fronts associated with powerful and distant Atlantic storms will continue to arrive, causing small changes. For example, during last night some scattered showers fell in parts of the coast, which managed to leave 17 mm in just half an hour in Cabrils (Maresme). This Saturday, however, variability will dominate, with a cooler environment, while on Sunday the sun and tranquility will prevail everywhere and the environment will be milder. In short, typical autumn weather awaits us, with Atlantic dynamics and ups and downs of the thermometers.

The rains are not giving any respite, and in these last few hours the worst of the storm is punishing the south of the Valencian Country. The regions of La Safor and Marina Alta are bearing the brunt, where the rainfall records of the last few hours are historic and are already approaching or exceeding 600 l/m² in municipalities such as Pego, Oliva, Vilallonga, or la Vall d'Ebo. But Forna, l'Atzúbia (Marina Alta) stands out, the ground zero of the storm, where more than 700 l/m² have already been exceeded, according to data provided by Avamet. It has been raining there since Sunday, but the majority of the liters have fallen during this early morning. These are extraordinary records comparable to those reached during the tragic DANA from two years ago. All of this is causing the overflowing of some rivers - such as the Girona river - and many floods, with hundreds of incidents. A very complicated situation in this area, where a red alert is active and it may still rain heavily throughout the morning.

The 'Adam' DANA and the arrival of humid sea winds have caused very intense storms in the last few hours, with accumulations that in some cases have exceeded 50 or 60 mm and have set some precipitation records (you will find more data at the end of this report). The weather will remain unsettled this Sunday, with widespread but less intense rain, good news for watering many regions in a more gradual way, without the downpours that have affected us regularly this month of October.

In recent hours, the weather has been dominated by the presence of harmless high and low cloud intervals in various regions. A situation that will be repeated this Tuesday, with even more abundant low clouds and fog, especially on the coast, pre-coastal areas, and Central Catalonia, without even ruling out some light rain resulting from the same high humidity. Temperatures will be quite similar, after yesterday's atmosphere was quite warm at midday, with maximums that locally reached 30 °C in areas of the interior of the Ebro valley, such as Vinebre or the Riba-roja reservoir. The calm will remain for a large part of the week, but starting from the weekend, instability will increase and rain could arrive, with a clear drop in thermometers.

Monday morning has been much less cool everywhere, with a temperature that dropped less than on Saturday and Sunday, with minimums of 4 to 8 ºC in the inland spots where it was coldest, after the sub-zero values of Friday morning. Maximums will also rise everywhere and midday will be less cool, as already happened during the weekend, with some maximums locally returning to exceed 27 ºC. This week begins with very stable and anticyclonic weather, but with the passage of more high clouds and the formation of some harmless low clouds.

This morning the temperature dropped even less than on Saturday, with minimums of 1 to 4 ºC in those inland points where it was coldest, after the sub-zero values of Friday morning. Maximums will also rise everywhere and midday will be less cool, as already happened on Saturday. In addition, we will have a clear increase in cloudiness. Next week will also begin with an identical dynamic and without any notable weather change in sight.

The temperature did not drop as much as it did last Friday early this morning, with lows of 0 to 2 ºC in inland points, after the sub-zero values of Friday morning. Even so, the cold morning atmosphere remains, intense for the dates. During the weekend the thermometers will continue to recover little by little, but the night cold and the mildness or little heat during the day will remain. No rain is expected anywhere.

The weekend has been marked by fairly calm weather, with temperatures that have been dropping and which yesterday did not exceed 31 ºC in the warmest areas of Ponent and the Ebro valley. Values are still very high for this time of year, but nothing like the nearly 38 ºC of previous days. After so many days of anticyclones and atypically summery heat, this coming week promises to be much more unsettled and cooler, with rain that will end up making an appearance in practically every part of the country throughout the days, and thermometers that will continue to drop. It seems that autumn, now yes, wants to make itself truly felt.

The heat peaked this Friday with maximums of up to 37.4 ºC at the Riba-roja reservoir and 37 ºC in Vinebre (Ribera d'Ebre) and Aldover (Baix Ebre), but this weekend has started with less heat and the maximum values have remained around 32 or 33 ºC. This Saturday we already noticed an increase in thin clouds, a situation that will repeat on Sunday, when we will also have low coastal clouds. The coming week looks more unsettled and cooler, although still with a generally mild atmosphere.

The heat peaked this Friday with an atypical temperature spike that left values more typical of the height of summer than the first days of autumn, especially in the south and in Ponent. Unchecked heat that reached up to 37.4 ºC at the Riba-roja reservoir and 37 ºC in Vinebre (Ribera d'Ebre), or 37 ºC also in Aldover (Baix Ebre). Furthermore, 35 ºC was exceeded in areas of Ponent, and 34 ºC in parts of the northeast, the Priorat, and the Pre-Pyrenees of Lleida.

We are leaving behind a very stable weekend, with the sun in almost absolute control and temperatures that have risen progressively, both at dawn and during the central hours of the day, with controlled but more intense heat than in previous days. In fact, yesterday temperatures already brushed 35 °C in Ponent and inside the Ebro valley. A situation that will be repeated at the beginning of this week. Between today and tomorrow there will be a transient peak of heat, with maximums between 34 °C and 37 °C in the warmest areas of the interior. But all of this will be short-lived, as from Wednesday a new change in the weather will arrive that will bring more showers and a new clear drop in thermometers.

The weather remained very stable this Saturday, with some intervals of harmless clouds and a practically absolute dominance of the sun. The temperature rose even more, both at dawn and during the central hours of the day, with controlled but more intense heat than in previous days. In fact, it already brushed 33 °C in the West and in the interior of the Ebro valley, a situation that will be repeated this Sunday, which has begun with generally warm temperatures.

We have left behind a very peaceful and radiant National Day of Catalonia and we are entering a weekend that will continue to be marked by fresh mornings, mild midday temperatures, and sun, although with some nuances in the form of intervals of clouds. At the beginning of next week, we will have a transitory warm peak, but subsequently, we will experience a new drop in temperatures and a possible new episode of showers.

We are in for a very pleasant, radiant National Day of Catalonia to take advantage of, with very few nuances. Temperatures will remain normalized, with plenty of morning coolness and bearable heat kept in check during the middle of the day. Therefore, and as already happened this Thursday, 30 ºC will only be reached or slightly exceeded in parts of the south and in Ponent. The weekend will be similar, with small changes on Saturday, but quite calm and sunny in general. Thermometers will rise slowly, both by day and by night, but always far from extremes. At the beginning of next week we could have a transitory warm peak, which would not last long. We have set our path towards autumn, and, except for transitory peaks, there is no sign that would make us think of a return of extreme summer heat.

The announced change in weather is now here, which will mark the end of this episode of intense and atypical heat that has accompanied us during the first week of September, with temperature records. The passage of a cold front will complicate the meteorological situation and will make today an unstable day, with irregular downpours and storms that may be intense and leave some torrential deluges, with a risk of local flooding and sudden rising of rivers and streams. The area most affected will be the coast and pre-coast of Barcelona. The clash between cold air at high altitude and the intense heat accumulated over so many days can leave very significant downpours, which is why a large part of the country is on alert for intense rain. In fact, between the early morning and the first hours of the morning, heavy rain has affected the Garraf, the Baix Llobregat, the Penedès, and the north of the Vallès Occidental and Oriental, with a lot of electrical activity. Even so, the precipitation has moved quickly and has not left large accumulations for the moment. For example, more than 20 l/m² have already accumulated in a short time in Cunit, in the Baix Penedès.

The atypical and historic heat that has accompanied us at the beginning of this month is numbered, with weather that will already start to change on Tuesday and a temperature that will begin its descent in some points. It will be on Wednesday when we will notice the change in weather, with intense rain, wind, rough seas, and a lower temperature everywhere, with an environment more typical of the meteorological autumn.
