The heat will loosen up a bit for a few days but will return with force on Wednesday
During Monday morning there will already be showers in the far south
BarcelonaThe weekend has been marked by calmer weather than in previous days, although instability continued to be the protagonist of the afternoon in some regions, especially on Saturday, when showers and thunderstorms in the Pyrenees, pre-Pyrenees and western regions left, locally, more than 50 or 60 mm and wind gusts of 100 km/h.
In the rest of the country, however, the weather remained stable and warm, with maximums that in some cases reached up to 38 or 39 °C. In fact, this Sunday, in Castelló d'Empúries (Alt Empordà), they were just one tenth away from 40 °C.
Monday: few changes
The week will start with stability as the protagonist, with some harmless cloud intervals during the morning, but with sun in general. However, the clouds will leave some showers between the Terres de l'Ebre and the north of the Valencian Country.
During the afternoon, the showers will be repeated in the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees, locally accompanied by storms and hail, but also in the Ports area and in the interior regions of the Valencian Country, where they will be intense and accompanied by hail or sleet. The temperature will drop slightly, with a less warm atmosphere, although it will still remain above the climatic average.
Tuesday: showers in the northern half
Few changes in the weather situation on Tuesday, with new afternoon showers affecting the usual places, such as the Pyrenees or the Pre-Pyrenees, but also neighboring regions. Elsewhere, sun will predominate, with the arrival of clouds in the afternoon due to scattered thunderstorms. The temperature will not move much yet, but from Wednesday it will rise more forcefully.
Intense heat mid next week
The maps show a new heatwave starting Wednesday, with the mercury set to reach 40°C again in the hottest inland areas and widespread tropical nights, also inland. However, the intensity and duration of this new episode of intense heat, this time at the end of the canicular period, still need to be confirmed.
