Showers will reappear tomorrow in some regions.

BarcelonaWe're leaving behind a Wednesday marked by a resurgence of intense heat, especially in Ponent and particularly in the northeast of the Girona region due to the warming southerly wind. In these two areas and inland from the Ebro, many highs of 30 to 34°C were reached. Intense heat after another very cool morning. Calm has prevailed everywhere, but it will be short-lived, as the tail end of a cold front arrives on Thursday, reactivating instability. Cloudy periods will increase, and showers will reappear in some regions. The change will mean a drop in temperatures on Friday, while we await the return of fully summery warmth over the weekend.

Thursday: change in weather

The passage of the tail of an Atlantic front will cause changes in the weather this Thursday. In the morning, there will be more cloudy spells in general, and before midday, the first drops may escape between Central Catalonia and coastal and pre-coastal areas. They will be mild: they will be isolated phenomena. It will be during the afternoon when instability will increase and significant storm clouds will grow.

Very irregular showers are expected in corners of the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees, in the northeast, in the Els Ports area, and between Central Catalonia and the pre-coastal area. These showers will be scattered, but locally, some storms could be intense. Rain will rarely occur in the rest of the country, and the sun will even predominate in the west. Showers may gain ground along the coast from tonight onwards.

All this, with minimum temperatures set to rise significantly, especially due to the presence of more cloudy patches. Less cool in the morning, with even an increase in tropical lows near the sea. Maximum temperatures will be similar to most of the country, with a generally warm atmosphere. The exception will be the Pyrenees and the northern Girona region, where the mercury will already be falling after Wednesday's warm peak. Many values of 27 to 32°C are expected, with muggy conditions on the coast.

Brief drop in temperatures

On Friday, showers and thunderstorms will continue to fall, potentially locally strong in the early morning hours, but they will remain concentrated between the Ebro and Castellón. Showers will also reach more areas of the Valencian Community throughout the day. However, in Catalonia, the sun will gradually gain ground, with northerly winds in the Empordà. A change in air masses will temporarily drop temperatures.

However, the drop will be brief, because over the weekend, the arrival of southerly winds will cause temperatures to rise again, with intense, summery heat. It seems that next week will begin with a new change in the weather that could bring more precipitation and drop temperatures again. A situation that is still somewhat uncertain, but we will have to confirm it.
