Afternoon showers in the north on a new day of spring softness

BarcelonaWe leave behind a weekend of very different weather, with a rainy Saturday afternoon in many places and a sunny Sunday, at least during the first half of the day. During the afternoon, cloudiness will gradually increase and from the evening onwards, showers will fall in the western half and in other nearby regions, without reaching the eastern half of the country. All this on the eve of a week that will begin gently, but which will take us back a few weeks in terms of temperature.

Monday: showers in the Pyrenees

The week will begin with a very pleasant weather situation, still marked by the dominance of sun practically everywhere and with temperatures that will climb a little higher. Morning with some unimportant strips of high and medium clouds and afternoon with cloudiness in the Pyrenees and some showers in this sector of the country and also in the northeast. All in all, however, very little. Maximums will be around 25 °C to 26 °C in many places, with a typical early May atmosphere.

Tuesday: thermal descent begins

Cold air will gain ground in Europe from Tuesday and will also make the atmosphere a little cooler in our area, especially in the eastern half. Day of contrasts with a morning dominated by sun and an afternoon with many clouds and precipitation in many regions, practically anywhere. In fact, some thunderstorms or hailstones are not ruled out, with snow at high altitudes in the Pyrenean mountain range.

Cooler from mid-week

The polar air mass that will cross the continent will leave us with a more evident temperature drop from Thursday until the weekend, when the atmosphere will be more typical of March or early April than mid-May. After an extraordinarily warm April, it seems that May wants to compensate, with no major heatwave in sight and with mercury below the climatic average.
