A quiet Sunday, awaiting a new change in the weather.

BarcelonaWe'll end the weekend calmly and pleasantly, after a Saturday with temperatures rising to 33°C in Ponent. Today, however, we started the day with plenty of clouds, especially along the coast and pre-coast, where some light rain fell in the early morning (0.1 mm in Vallirana and Barcelona).

The week will begin tomorrow with a significant change in the weather across the country. The most cloudy and unsafe weather will be expected especially on Tuesday, when rain and a drop in temperatures will be expected. Storms may be accompanied by downpours, more likely along the coast and in the pre-coast.

Sunday: Summery atmosphere and thin clouds

Pending the predicted change in weather, for now, the sun will still shine this Sunday, albeit with high clouds. Low clouds will appear on the coast and the pre-coastal area, especially in the southern half, during the morning. In these areas, the skies will take a while to clear up, with a more muggy atmosphere due to the cloud cover. During the afternoon, thin and medium-sized clouds will move in from the west and eventually cover the skies in the West and Central Catalonia. The first showers in the Lleida Pyrenees and a thunderstorm in Els Ports de Beseit towards the end of the day cannot be ruled out.

Temperatures will rise further tomorrow, both day and night. The weather will be warm and summery, with values ​​clearly above average. Most highs will range between 28°C and 33°C, with highs reaching 34°C or 35°C inland in the Ebro region and Camp de Tarragona, in the West, in the southern interior of Valencia, and in the center of the island of Mallorca. The muggy conditions will persist on the coast, where tropical lows will gain ground again during the early hours of the morning (22.5°C was recorded in Barcelona during the early hours of this morning).

Monday: change in weather with the arrival of a front

The week will begin with the approach of an active cold front that will increase cloud cover and bring the first showers and thunderstorms. The most likely are expected in the afternoon in the western half of the country, central Catalonia, the Pyrenees, and the south. Locally, they will be of moderate to heavy intensity, accompanied by thunderstorms, hail, or the occasional hail. In fact, Meteocat has already issued a warning for heavy rain and heavy accumulations, with a level 1 out of 6 in several regions of the country.

On Tuesday, rain could sweep across the entire territory, locally heavy. Storms will hit the southern coast and pre-coastal areas during the early morning, and also in Central Catalonia and the Pre-Pyrenees (Osona, Solsonès, Lluçanès, Berguedà, and Ripollès). Over the course of the day, they will continue to develop over the eastern half of the territory. In the afternoon, some new storms will hit the south and pre-coastal areas. Showers will also fall in the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands, with rainfall that could exceed 30 or 40 l/m.² in just under half an hour and heavy rain in just a few hours.

A quieter Diada long weekend

Unstable conditions will continue on Wednesday, with some early morning and early morning showers in the northern central coast and the Costa Brava. A few thunderstorms could occur in the northeast during the afternoon. However, the Diada long weekend looks set to be considerably calmer, with mild mornings and afternoon showers in the Pyrenees.

Lunar Eclipse

A total lunar eclipse will take place today, in which the Earth's shadow will be completely projected onto our satellite. In Catalonia, it will only be visible in the early afternoon, just as the Moon appears over the horizon, in the 8:11 PMThe total phase will end at 8:53 p.m. and the eclipse will end completely at 10 p.m. We will see the Moon tinted with a reddish color and it is for this reason that we speak of blood moonThe problem will be whether we'll actually be able to see it, because with the arrival of the front, the sky will be quite cloudy.
