BarcelonaAfter a week marked by afternoon downpours and storms accompanied by hail and sleet in some regions, this Sant Jordi the weather will not be clear. It will be a fruitful and quite sunny day in most of the country to enjoy the book and rose stalls outdoors, but there will be exceptions. In the morning, drizzles may occur in the northeast and the Ebro, and in the afternoon, some irregular downpours and storms will repeat in the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees.

Local showers are also not ruled out in the Ports and the southern pre-coast. Therefore, on Sant Jordi afternoon, keep an eye on the sky in these regions, but in the rest of the country calm will prevail, with sun especially near the coast, which will allow for an pleasant day.

The gregal wind will strengthen, at times the east wind, with moderate gusts on the coast and in elevated areas. Fresher air that will be responsible for lowering temperatures. The drop will be particularly noticeable in the interior, where the mercury may fall between 4 and 8 degrees compared to Wednesday.
