BarcelonaThe weekend has been marked by good weather, with a lot of stability and a sun that has gradually imposed itself. This anticyclonic dynamic, typical of this time of year, will continue during the coming days, although afternoon showers will also continue in some regions of the northern half. The temperature will rise towards Monday after a not very warm weekend, with maximums reaching 33 or 34°C in parts of Ponent and the Ebro interior. For now, however, there is no significant heatwave in sight and it seems that the heat we had at the end of May will not visit us again, at least, until the second fortnight of June.

Monday: sun's prominence

The Sun will be the protagonist at the start of the week, with a clear sky throughout the country, allowing the temperature to rise with more force. In fact, it will already reach 33 or 34 °C in Ponent and the Ebro interior, still far from the values of late May, but with heat more typical of the meteorological summer we began a week ago. Tropical minimums will also return in some stretches of the coast, especially in Barcelona due to the heat island effect. During the afternoon, some showers could occur again in the Pyrenees, with irregular distribution and leaving little abundant precipitation.

Tuesday: less heat and wind at the extremes

The week will progress with small changes, especially in the northern half, where the temperature will drop more clearly. This thermal decrease will be accompanied by the entry of the tramuntana and the mistral at both ends of the territory, as well as precipitation during the early morning and morning in the western Pyrenees and nearby regions.
