Clear sky and rising temperatures: the thermometer will reach 25 °C

BarcelonaThe 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.

Saturday: sun and softness at noon

Today the sky will remain practically completely clear everywhere, with the sun being the absolute protagonist of the weather, with the permission of some harmless and passing high cloud. Minimum temperatures have risen a bit, but it has still been moderately cold in the morning in the inland regions (-1 °C in Prades, 1 °C in Oliola or 2.5 °C in Òdena). Maximum temperatures will rise significantly, especially in Ponent and in the interior of the Ebro valley, with a mild atmosphere in the middle of the day, and we will have many maximums of 18 °C to 23 °C, which will locally approach 25 °C in the regions of Ponent and in the Ebro.

Sunday: no changes

We will end the week with practically identical weather, still dominated by the sun, although more high clouds will arrive and in the morning there will be banks of low clouds on the south coast, which will break up as the hours pass. The temperature will maintain its rise and will reach the highest values of the current year in quite a few places, and 26 °C or 27 °C will be exceeded in some places in the Ponent regions. In the rest, we will have highs between 19 °C and 24 °C at midday, which will invite you to go out and enjoy the good weather.

Radiant end of Holy Week

The weather will be very pleasant with radiant sunshine on Easter Monday, with temperatures that will remind us more of May values than early April. Many highs of 20 °C to 25 °C are expected, but in areas of the pre-coast and inland, these figures will be exceeded, locally reaching 30 °C in Poniente and the Ebro interior. Thermometers will be more restrained on the coast due to the influence of the sea, which is still cold.

All this with a thermal contrast between day and night, as well as an increasingly marked thermal inversion, since in the coming days it will be colder at low altitudes in the early hours than at high altitudes. After Holy Week, it seems that instability may return, so let's take advantage of these calm days.
