Suddenly spring-like weather starting tomorrow

BarcelonaWe started the week with variable skies and relatively mild temperatures. But in the coming hours and days, the variability will continue due to the passage of new Atlantic fronts that will bring some showers—especially in the west and north—and precipitation in the Pyrenees. Above all, we'll notice a clear rise in temperatures and the snow level—above 2,000 meters—starting this Tuesday. It will be the first early taste of spring in 2026. The wind will also be a factor, as we'll experience strong winds in many areas, especially between Wednesday and Thursday. A crazy Carnival week, weather-wise too.

Tuesday: the temperature soars

The big news this Tuesday will undoubtedly be the significant rise in temperatures. The arrival of westerly winds will bring a noticeably warmer air mass, causing this sudden temperature increase. Between Tuesday and Thursday, we'll experience the first hints of spring, with temperatures reaching 20°C in several regions, and even potentially approaching 25°C in the south of the country. Needless to say, these are values ​​well above average for this time of year.

All this under a changeable and variable sky due to the passage of new Atlantic fronts, although very little rain is expected in most areas. Some showers will fall tonight from west to east, less likely or very weak near the coast. And throughout Tuesday, some will arrive from the west and the northern third of the region.

The exception will be the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees, especially the western part, where precipitation will arrive with greater intensity. The snow level will also rise sharply to 2,000 m in the morning and 2,400 or 2,500 m in the afternoon. This will cause snow and ice to accumulate at fairly high elevations. The westerly wind will strengthen in the afternoon.

Strong wind ahead

Between Wednesday and Thursday, westerly winds will strengthen, bringing strong gusts to many areas, especially in central and southern Catalonia, in higher elevations, in the Valencian Community, and in the Balearic Islands. The first alerts have already been issued for gusts that could easily exceed 70 or 90 km/h, although in the windiest areas they could surpass 100 km/h.

The sky will continue to change, with heavy rain expected only in the western Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees. The spring-like weather will last until Thursday, when temperatures will begin to drop and return to normal during the second half of the week, while rain may reach other areas.
