Profitable weekend, but with nuances

BarcelonaThe calm of the last few days will continue over the weekend, as we are under the influence of the Azores anticyclone. However, tails of very worn-out fronts associated with powerful and distant Atlantic storms will continue to arrive, causing small changes. For example, during last night some scattered showers fell in parts of the coast, which managed to leave 17 mm in just half an hour in Cabrils (Maresme). This Saturday, however, variability will dominate, with a cooler environment, while on Sunday the sun and tranquility will prevail everywhere and the environment will be milder. In short, typical autumn weather awaits us, with Atlantic dynamics and ups and downs of the thermometers.

Saturday: small changes

Saturday will be a calm day overall, with a cloudy or variable sky due to the presence of high and medium clouds, as well as some afternoon cloudiness in the northeast which, locally, may leave some weak and isolated showers. The mistral and tramontane wind will decrease throughout the day in the Ebro and the north of the Alt Empordà, and will end up disappearing in the evening. Lower temperatures, with night-time chill and cooler weather in the middle of the day. Many highs of 16°C to 21°C are expected.

Sunday: calm and rising temperatures

Sun and calm will dominate the last day of the weekend and the first day of the new winter time. Remember that at 3:00 a.m. we will have to set the clock back one hour, and it will be 2:00 a.m. again. A pleasant day to take advantage of, with only a few decorative brushstrokes of thin clouds and some morning fog. From the evening onwards, some light precipitation may arrive on the north face of the Pyrenees, without further consequences.

All this with temperatures that will rise further. An environment that will be milder in the middle of the day, with many highs of 17°C to 23°C, locally higher in the Ebro valley. Next week will begin with a warm spike, but by the middle of the week the thermometer will drop again, with values quite normal for the dates. This year it seems that the 'castanyada' will be cool or cold as it should be, something that had not happened for years.
