High clouds will be the novelty on a new spring heat day

BarcelonaThe anticyclone has been with us for days and helps maintain very stable and calm weather, far from the winds and snowfalls we had a few days ago. This, combined with increasing sunshine each day, helps to push up the mercury, with maximum temperatures during this last stretch of Easter already nearing 30 °C in Poniente and 22-25 °C in many inland areas, values more typical of May than early April. However, by the end of the week, instability could increase again with some showers and more subdued temperatures.

Tuesday: high clouds and stable mercury

New day of advanced spring, with the novelty of bands of high clouds that will advance from west to east and that with the passage of hours will reach many points, always more present in the western half of the country. The minimum temperature will not move much or may even drop a little, while the maximums will remain stable and will move again between 20 °C and 23 °C on the coast and between 24 °C and 28 °C on the pre-littoral and the rest of the interior, and these records will be exceeded in Poniente and the interior of the Ebro valley. During the morning, low cloud banks will be repeated and in the Ebro delta some fog banks will form, a direct consequence of the growing contrast between the sea temperature and that of dry land.

Wednesday: more softness

Few changes for Wednesday, marked by weather practically identical to Tuesday. More high clouds will appear, reaching everywhere now, and low morning clouds could make an appearance in more coastal areas, although they tend to lift as the hours pass. The maximum temperature will rise a bit more and will approach the warm peak, which will arrive on Thursday, with an atmosphere of advanced spring throughout the country.

On Thursday we will reach the warm peak

The temperature will once again peak inland, especially in Poniente, where it could reach up to 30 or 31 °C and exceed the values reached this Sunday. On the coast, it will remain around 21-23 °C, with a cooler atmosphere due to the maritime effect caused by the wind and with some morning fog banks due to the thermal contrast between the mainland and the sea. The thermal rise will also be noticeable in the rest of the pre-coastal areas, especially in Northern Catalonia, where cities like Perpignan could also reach or exceed 30 °C.
