The sun and absolute calm of this Friday will not have much continuity in the coming days. Starting this weekend we will be under the indirect effects of the great Atlantic storm Bruna, which will bring a lot of rain to the west of the peninsula. Here at home, however, very little rain is expected for the moment. We will have a Saturday and a Sunday with a more changeable sky due to the presence of quite a few intervals of clouds. But beyond some light rain or a very weak, local and passing shower, no rain is expected. Temperatures will rise clearly from Sunday, as the counter-clockwise rotation of this storm –located off the western peninsular coast– will push warmer winds from the southwest towards us. The models indicate that next week could begin with an increase in instability.

This Friday will be a day to take advantage of, with sun and calm that will prevail everywhere, morning fog and milder weather at midday. But starting from the weekend we will be under the indirect effects of a deep Atlantic low-pressure system, with more cloudiness, little rain and an increasingly mild environment. A storm that has already been christened with the name of Bruna and which will leave a lot of rain in the western peninsula. Perhaps at the beginning of the week the precipitation will arrive with more momentum towards our region. All this after yesterday, Thursday, scattered and weak showers and sprinkles already fell in many places. Very little in general, and not everywhere. Even so, in the regions of Tarragona it rained with a bit more intensity, especially in the Baix Ebre and Montsià, where records of between 10 and 15 l/m² were reached.

After the calm and sun that dominated again on Wednesday, these last few hours a new change in the weather has arrived. Since dawn, cloudiness has increased and light and scattered drizzles or showers have been arriving through Ponent and the Ebre area, moving from southwest to northeast. It has already rained lightly in several regions. Very little in general, although up to 10 l/m² have accumulated in the Ebre area, for example at the Illa de Buda, in Montsià. There will be areas where it will not rain, such as some points in the northeast or in the Lleida regions. A minor change, but one that will leave the sky more loaded with intervals of clouds, with a risk of these passing and short-lived showers. In the coming days we will enter an Atlantic dynamic that will bring us little rain and a less cold environment.

The injection of cold air from northeastern Europe has caused a sharp drop in temperature that has left the atmosphere in these last few hours more typical of early winter than mid-autumn. This morning the cold is widespread, with values below 10 ºC even on the coast. You need to dress warmly to leave the house early in the morning, with a good jacket or coat. Thermometers have bottomed out, but from today onwards maximum temperatures will begin to recover slowly, with much calmer weather and sun that will gain ground throughout the day.

On Monday, June 22, 1936, Engràcia, a maid working in the home of a wealthy German family settled in a central apartment in Valencia, asks for help to open the bedroom door. Something is wrong. The children are not in their room and no one responds to her knocking. An electrician finally helps her open the door and what they discover inside is a macabre spectacle: the entire family dead on the bed, the parents, Akiva and Friga, and their two children aged 13 and 10, Wolfang Jakob and Stefanie Johana. They are members of the Bacharach clan, a Jewish family of German origin settled in Valencia since the beginning of the century, who recently arrived in the city fleeing Nazi persecution. Apparently, it is a suicide, as they all died from gas poisoning. The news shocked the Valencia of that time and resonated in major European newspapers. Now, thanks to the investigation by journalist Vicent Garcia Devís, we can immerse ourselves in the history of this lineage, one of many that form part of the dark crucible of the Holocaust (the family is officially considered a victim of the Nazis), in Akiva. Escaping the wolves (L'Austrohongaresa, 2026).

The announced change in weather is finally here. Since Monday evening, rain has been falling between the Camp de Tarragona and the southern coast and pre-coastal areas of Barcelona, as well as in nearby zones. So far, the more than 80 l/m² accumulated in the city of Tarragona, the more than 70 in Torredembarra, or the more than 60 in Cunit stand out. This rain has fallen with intensity in some cases, but it has been very localized in these sectors, as in most counties it has not rained yet. The precipitation will continue to fall in these areas today and will gain ground throughout the day in many more counties. It will be mainly in the afternoon and evening when the rain will make its presence felt in many more places. In this regard, Meteocat maintains an alert for intense rain that can leave more than 20 l/m² in just half an hour or more than 60 l/m² in three hours in these local areas, especially in the Camp de Tarragona.

This first week of November will bring us significant changes. Today will still be a fairly quiet day, but from the afternoon onwards, the first local showers may appear on the coast and pre-coast, and the temperature will begin to drop. The core of the anticyclone will be located in northern Europe and will drive the entry of a very cold air mass from the east of the continent towards our area. It will be this Tuesday when we will notice the most significant drop in thermometers and the atmosphere will be cold in general, with an environment more typical of late autumn or early winter. This cold air influx will have a Mediterranean trajectory, bringing moisture and precipitation. Therefore, tomorrow will be a cloudier day with a risk of rain in many places, while in the Pyrenees it may snow down to 1,500 m or lower.

Today, All Saints' Day, the sun will prevail and mild weather will be the protagonist. The morning began with low clouds in parts of the coast, as well as in the Central Depression, valleys of the Pyrenees, Pre-Pyrenees, and Pre-coastal range, where we find some banks of fog.

The weather will be full autumn this weekend and with a bit of everything depending on the area. Today will be a day with intervals of clouds and a risk of some local showers, especially in the Ebre and the Costa Brava, while the rain will be a bit more prominent in the Valencian Country and the Balearic Islands. This early morning some downpours were recorded that, locally, have accumulated 31 l/m²² on the island of Buda, 4 l/m²² in Miami Platja, 3 l/m²² in les Cases d'Alcanar and 0.5 l/m²² in Falset.

The cooling was more evident yesterday along the coast and pre-coastal areas of Barcelona, and in the northeast, with between 2 and 4 degrees less than in previous days. Conversely, towards the southern interior of the country, temperatures still locally reached 25 or 26 ºC. A thermal drop that will accentuate even more in the coming days. We will arrive at the Castanyada and All Saints' Day weekend with a full autumn atmosphere: nights will be cold and midday periods between cool and mild. All of this will be the result of the arrival of cold northeast winds coming from Eastern Europe, which, at the same time, will increase instability. Some showers are expected in parts of the Ebro, the northeast, the Balearic Islands, and, especially, the Valencian Community.

The thermometers have started to drop in these last few hours. Today we are already waking up to a much more marked coolness or cold, while yesterday the mildness marked at midday was still repeated, with many highs of 20 to 25 °C, locally up to 26 °C in the southern interior. Little by little we are leaving behind the 'little summer' of the last few days. And that is because during the second part of the week the core of the anticyclone will be located between central and northern Europe, a fact that will push colder northeasterly winds towards us. This will cause the thermometers to fall, waiting for a cold 'Castanyada' like the ones of a lifetime. All this with a rebound in instability that will leave some showers on the coast, the Ebro and, above all, in the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands. Next week the cold could become even more evident.

The little summer reached its peak yesterday, with an atmosphere clearly too warm for the season that left many maximums of 21 to 26 ºC, but locally these figures were exceeded in Priorat and the Ebro valley, reaching 27 ºC. Unusual values for the end of October, with up to five degrees above the average. But this mass of warm air will be leaving starting this Wednesday, with temperatures that will be dropping and normalizing completely throughout the week. Calm will continue to dominate, but some changes will begin to appear. We will arrive at the Castanyada with an atmosphere usual for the time of year: at night it will be cold, and at midday it will no longer be hot.

The week has started with a new leap forward in temperatures. Yesterday, 25 ºC was already exceeded in the Ebro valley, and 20 ºC in most regions, highlighting the almost 28 ºC recorded at the Riba-roja reservoir (Ribera d'Ebre). An atmosphere warmer than what would correspond to this time of year that will peak today, as we will still add a few more degrees. But this little summer will not have much continuity, as from Wednesday and especially Thursday temperatures will go down and we will arrive at the Castanyada with more normal values for the dates. All this with absolute calm due to the anticyclone affecting a large part of Europe.

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.

Both today and in the coming days, the weather will remain changeable, as, although high pressure and sun will dominate, we will continue to be under the indirect effects of some Atlantic fronts. In short, the sky will continue to undergo changes, but with very little rain in sight. Today, for example, will be a fairly sunny day, but between the evening and dawn, some showers will reappear. Temperatures will experience new rises and falls, but will always remain in check.

After some local and minor showers in the northeastern regions between yesterday afternoon and this early morning, no precipitation is expected anywhere today and it will be a calm day. However, the tail end of an Atlantic front is crossing us, which will cause the sky to be more variable overall and the weather to be cooler. In fact, this morning we woke up to colder temperatures in most regions, and even with frosts that have gained ground in the Pyrenees. No significant new rain episodes are expected in the coming days. The weather will continue to change, with little rain but with intervals of clouds that will come and go. Temperatures will experience ups and downs and will be kept in check, with a full autumn atmosphere and cold nights.

Calm has prevailed in most regions in the last few hours, following the rainstorm of the last few days, which has been historic, record-breaking, and tragic in the south of the Valencian Country. Nevertheless, yesterday some afternoon showers were repeated in the Girona regions that left, for example, 14 l/m² in Vilablareix (Gironès). And this morning, above all, what we notice is colder weather, as with a clearer sky, thermometers have been able to drop more at night. It is necessary to dress warmly to leave the house early in the morning. Both today and in the coming days, no new major storms are expected in our area, although the weather will remain changeable and, despite the sun dominating, some local showers will still occur. The atmosphere will remain in full autumn mode.

The rainstorm caused by the DANA Adam and warm maritime winds laden with moisture has affected all the Catalan Countries in recent days. In Catalonia, Monday's round of precipitation left many records of 15 to 50 l/m², but in the Pyrenees, the southern pre-coastal area of Barcelona, and the counties of Tarragona and Lleida, these figures were exceeded, highlighting the 74 l/m² in Ulldeter (Ripollès) or the 70 in Falset (Priorat). In contrast, in the northeastern counties, precipitation has been meager during this episode. All of this will be history this Tuesday, as the sun and calm will gradually prevail everywhere, though still with remnants of clouds and afternoon showers in the northeast and the Pyrenees.
