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 temperatures that will begin their descent in some areas. It will be on Wednesday when we will notice the change in weather, with intense rain, wind, rough seas, and lower temperatures everywhere, with an atmosphere more typical of meteorological autumn.

The nightmare of this atypical and historic heat is numbered. This Monday we will no longer reach 40 °C in the Ponent area, although it will still be very hot. The drop in the thermometer will be slight, around 3 or 4 degrees in some places, enough so that no more records are set. However, it will still be hot, with highs around 38 or 39 °C in Ponent and in the interior of the Ebro. From this Sunday it is worth highlighting new exceptional values, not at all common in the month of September, such as 42.5 °C in Vinebre and 42.3 °C in Torroja del Priorat.

The unbridled heat continues to set temperature records across the country. This Saturday, the highest maximum for a September since 1914 was recorded again at the Fabra Observatory, with 35.3 °C. With this historic value, there are already four records broken in the city of Barcelona since the beginning of the month. In Ponent, in the interior of the Ebro, and in regions like the Priorat, temperatures reached or brushed against 41 °C, with a new September record at 64 of the 128 XEMA stations with more than twenty years of data.

The unbridled heat continues to set temperature records. Yesterday, Friday, 34.1 °C was recorded at the Fabra Observatory, the highest maximum since 1914 in a September in the city of Barcelona. In Ponent and the interior of the Ebro, temperatures soared again, reaching a sweltering 42.5 °C in Vinebre (Ribera d'Ebre) and up to 39.3 °C in the city of Lleida, the highest maximum in September since 1939. Therefore, it was the hottest September day recorded in Catalonia, with historic values for these dates in 77 of the 128 XEMA stations with more than 20 years of data.

The temperature climbed sharply again, with new records, this Thursday. At the Fabra observatory, it reached 33.1 °C, half a degree less than Wednesday, when 33.6 °C was recorded. Yesterday's value is the second highest since 1914 in a September in the city of Barcelona. In Ponent and the interior of the Ebro, they brushed against 40 °C (39 °C in Vinebre, one of the highest since 2022). If we take the set of Meteocat's automatic stations, 27 out of 128 broke the record for a month of September in 20 years of data, especially those located in Empordà, the Pyrenees, and Ponent.

The temperature rose clearly yesterday Wednesday, when it exceeded 35 °C in many inland points and new heat records were registered in a month of September, as in the case of the Fabra Observatory, where the 33.6 °C measured is the highest value since 1914. All of this is the prelude to an exceptional heatwave that will cause the temperature to be well above the climatic average, with forecasts of registering new temperature records in the coming days.

Meteorological autumn began on Tuesday with very calm weather, dominated by the presence of clouds that, from midday onwards, gained ground, although they did not leave any precipitation. The mercury relaxed a bit, with maximums of 32 ℃ or 33 ℃ where it was hottest, but from this Wednesday onwards the situation will reverse and the temperature will rise notably. We are expecting a second half of the week with thermal values well above the climatic average for early September, with no significant cooling in sight.

Mercury again exceeded 35 ℃ this Monday, as it did over the weekend, but in general the temperature remained around 29 ℃ to 33 ℃. These are typical values for the end of August that will also accompany us into early September, with heat that could intensify more from mid-week. On the horizon there is no early autumn rain storm, but also no extreme off-season heatwave.

The mercury rose above 35 ℃ again this Sunday, after a fairly cool night everywhere, although less so than Saturday. The temperature will remain with few changes this week, with controlled heat, without excesses, and the weather will also not experience significant changes. On the horizon there is no early autumn storm, but neither is there any out-of-season heatwave.

Mercury once again exceeded 35℃ this Saturday, after a quite cool early morning everywhere, even on the coast, a situation that will be repeated this Sunday. The week will end with a very calm day with no new developments, marked by a temperature that will tend to rise progressively and by a sun that, although it has already lost many minutes compared to the end of June, is still the protagonist.

Formentera concentrates in a few kilometers a surprisingly varied gastronomic offer: from Mediterranean cuisine and good rice dishes to more daring proposals, beach restaurants, establishments with decades of history, and beach bars where a cocktail can end up extending the afternoon until dinner time. Eating there is not cheap – here, "economical" is always a relative concept – but not everything forces you to make the bill the main concern of your vacation. More than a ranking, this is a guide to know where to go depending on what the day calls for.

The mercury dropped much shorter this Friday, after a Thursday with highs of over 36 ℃ or 37 ℃ in Alt Empordà, El Segrià and in points of the pre-littoral, and it barely exceeded 32 ℃ or 33 ℃ where it was hottest. However, a weekend awaits us in which the temperature will recover and the sun will once again be the protagonist, with no risk of precipitation.

Relaxed, in a podcast without apparent media impact, Ferran Rosa, deputy of Més per Mallorca, had an attack of sincerity last week that has revolutionized the Mallorcan left. He has been criticized for saying that the left did not do enough to curb tourist growth during the Pacte de Progrés and that, therefore, "they should have lost the 2019 elections".The relaxed format of the podcast L’hora de la sesta, the fact that he was among friends –political scientists Julián Claramunt and Pau Torres– and that he did not expect it to have many listeners, made him lower his guard. But his words have reopened wounds in the formation.

The mercury climbed eagerly this Thursday, with highs of over 36 or 37 ℃ in Alt Empordà, Segrià and points of the pre-coastal area, but this thermal rise has limited hours because in the coming hours we will experience a notable drop in temperature. Subsequently, however, it will gradually rise again, always around the climatic average and without extremes.

We have left behind a Wednesday of very calm and stable weather, with two very distinct faces: a very cloudy morning and an afternoon with a lot of sun. Thursday has started with a repeat of the play and some cloud intervals, but the sun will assert itself much more quickly and give way to a much more pleasant and warm day. We find ourselves immersed in a thermal roller coaster, as after this thermal rise there will be a drop in temperature on Friday, while the weekend will be warmer again.

This Tuesday's weather was radically different from Monday's, with a clear dominance of the sun, and this Wednesday the novelty will be the presence of clouds that will be abundant during the morning, but which will lose the battle against the sun during the afternoon. Nevertheless, only a few isolated and unimportant drizzles are expected.

The Atlantic disturbance located west of the Iberian Peninsula left downpours and hailstorms during Monday afternoon, in some cases with large hailstones and violent gusts of wind (you will find a summary of the storms at the end of this article). This Tuesday, however, will be a radically different day, with much more stable and calm weather and no precipitation.

The Atlantic disturbance located off the coasts of Portugal and Galicia will send a front that will generate unstable weather in our territory this Monday. While the first part of the morning has been stable, from midday the panorama has changed radically and storms have gained ground, affecting a large part of the west and north half by mid-afternoon. Showers of moderate to strong intensity are expected and the possibility of hail or hailstorms in many places, especially in the northern half and the northwest quadrant (you will find a provisional summary of the storms at the end of this article).

Saturday morning thunderstorms discharged strongly offshore and those that hit land left intense downpours. In Baix Penedès, it discharged with great intensity and the showers were torrential. In El Vendrell, for example, they accumulated 146 l/m², 137 l/m² in Torredembarra and 109 l/m² in Calafell.

We are starting a stormy Saturday, but not throughout the territory. Thunderstorms are discharging strongly offshore and are reaching land. In fact, heavy showers and intense thunderstorms are expected between the central coast and the Costa Daurada. These showers will be intense and can accumulate 30 mm in just under half an hour, with significant accumulations, which have already reached up to 100 mm in a few hours. In Baix Penedès, it has discharged with great intensity and the showers have been torrential. In El Vendrell, for example, they have accumulated 129 mm and 113 mm in Torredembarra.
