Days of anticyclone, a bit of tramontana and heat at bay

BarcelonaDuring this weekend and the coming days the weather will be identical, with some exceptions. Temperatures have normalized and only towards Monday will they be able to rise a little in the West. Apart from sun, some morning fog and some thin clouds, the arrival of weak north and northwest winds will stand out, but little else.

During the rest of the weekend, fair weather and a calm atmosphere will prevail. Days of placid weather await us to take advantage of, with no rain and sun in general. Temperatures will rise in the middle of the day, but will remain normal for the time of year, with morning coolness and controlled heat at midday.

Sunday: hotter

For today, calm will be general. It will be a day of radiant sun to enjoy the outdoors. After a cool night (or cold in the Pyrenees), with minimums of 6°C or 7°C in the valleys, the atmosphere will be sunny with very few nuances. The minimums have also dropped in the pre-coastal area, with values close to 5.5°C in Prades. Temperatures, today, will rise a little more and we will go from the morning chill to a warmer feeling in the middle of the day, although once again without extremes and with values around normal for this time of year. Yesterday, the maximums climbed to 33.6°C at the Riba-roja reservoir or up to 32°C in Vinebre.

The maximums will reach 32°C or 33°C this Sunday in the Lleida plain or in the interior of the Ebro and in the rest they will move between 26°C and 30°C.

In short, in the coming days we will have to dress in layers, since the sweaters or jackets from first thing in the morning will be a nuisance at midday. The north wind will stop completely, but will appear again on Monday.

No rain in sight

Looking ahead to next week, the anticyclone will continue to embrace us. This will mean that the sun will dominate without exceptions and it will not rain anywhere, although there will be some morning fog in plains and inland hollows. On Monday, a bit of tramontane and mistral wind will enter at both ends of the country due to the position of the anticyclone. There will be rough seas north of Cap de Begur and along the rest of the coast the sea will remain calm.

No episode of rain or strong storms is in sight, beyond some afternoon showers in the north of the country during the second half of the week.

All this with temperatures that will rise more at the beginning of the week, with more marked heat in the middle of the day, but again without extremes. Between Monday and Tuesday, maximums could climb up to 33 °C or 34 °C in Ponent. The nights will remain cool and the thermometers will remain similar for the rest of the days. Let's remember that the astronomical autumn will officially arrive on Wednesday at dawn.

The models indicate this rise between Monday and Tuesday, but without reaching extreme heatwaves. From the middle of the week, temperatures return to normal, but no rain is in sight in the medium term.
