The weather

The heat will intensify on a Tuesday with some clouds

The highest maximum temperatures could reach 40°C in the interior of the Ebro and Ponente rivers.

BarcelonaThe week has started very calmly, with the weather dominated by the anticyclone and the entry of warm air, which will be the two elements that will define the weather throughout this week. This will make the heat even more pronounced everywhere on Tuesday, with a fully summery atmosphere after a few weeks of more normal temperatures, around the climate average. The heat will last at least until the weekend, with values well above normal in some cases (you will find the highest temperatures reached so far at the end of this report).

Tuesday: clear skies in the morning

A splendid day: sunshine will dominate throughout the morning, but with the arrival of harmless high clouds from midday onwards. Only a few more significant storm clouds will develop during the afternoon in the north, with even a few light showers in the eastern Pyrenees. Southerly winds will gain ground as the hours pass, with no complications beyond a few moderate gusts, and a heated north wind will appear in the Empordà region. Temperatures will rise slightly, with lows approaching or above 25°C on the central and southern coasts and highs once again reaching 38°C or 40°C in the West and inland parts of the Ebro Valley.
