More scattered showers, awaiting new storms for Monday
Temperatures on the rise, but with quite bearable heat
BarcelonaThe thunderstorms of last dawn (Saturday) 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.
In some cases, the rain fell with great intensity and discharged more than 40 mm in half an hour. The Torredembarra station measured 54.5 mm in 30 minutes, of which 2.8 mm in 1 minute (a real downpour!).
Sunday with new showers and cooler weather
The early morning could be, again, eventful, and some models indicate stormy activity on the Costa Daurada and in the Camp de Tarragona (without the downpours of recent hours needing to be repeated!). In the morning more clearings will appear, especially on the central coast, the north coast and in Empordà, as well as in the Pyrenees. During the afternoon, clouds will growin the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees, which could bring moderate intensity showers. Some thunderstorms could occur in Central Catalonia and, at the end of the day, the storm would discharge offshore and on the central coast.
The warnings for intense showers are maintained, with accumulations of up to 20 mm in half an hour. Be careful with flood-prone areas and with streams.
The temperature will remain subdued early in the morning in the Pyrenees, with minimums of 12°C in the valleys. During the day it will be hotter compared to Saturday. We will reach 35°C in Ponent and in the rest of the country we will move between 30°C and 33°C. Mid next week, a more significant rise is expected and heat peaks of up to 36°C in the Lleida plain and the Ebro.
