On the verge of a weekend with a bit of everything

BarcelonaThe low clouds of the last few hours in coastal and pre-coastal areas will diminish this Friday. Calm weather will prevail and there will be no rain, although the sky will not be clear, with cloud bands passing across the country. Temperatures will rise further, pending their peak on Saturday. We will begin the first weekend of October with a warm peak that will bring a more late-summer atmosphere, with highs around 30°C in the warmest areas. But on Sunday, the passage of a weak cold front will bring some showers and cause temperatures to drop again.

Friday: calm and warmer

This Friday, the weather will be calm and pleasant, with no risk of precipitation. This morning, there will be a lot of fog inland, and low clouds will remain in coastal and pre-coastal areas of Barcelona and nearby areas. This afternoon will generally be sunny, but bands of high and mid-level clouds will move through, potentially clouding the sky across the country. In addition, harmless storm clouds will grow in mountainous areas.

Early in the day, it will be moderately cool, and in the middle of the day, the weather will be warmer, with rising highs, especially on the coast and pre-coastal areas, after lowering on Thursday. Many highs will range from 21 to 26°C, but locally higher, especially in the West and especially inland from the Ebro, where temperatures can reach 29 or 30°C in some cases.

Weekend with two faces

On Saturday, temperatures will peak, with a warm but transitory peak. These temperatures will be above average and more typical of late summer than early October, with many highs of 23 to 28°C, but hovering around 30°C in the West and inland areas of the Ebro. The Indian summer of Sant Miquel has arrived late this year, although it will be short-lived. Nights will also be milder than expected. All this will be calm and with more sun than clouds, while we await the occasional afternoon shower in the Pyrenees, especially on the north face.

Between Saturday night and Sunday night and early morning, some instability will resume. There will be a risk of scattered showers or drops, especially in the northern half. A weak front will cross over, bringing more cloud cover on Sunday, with the risk of some very patchy showers, especially in the afternoon in parts of the northeast and some coastal sections.

All of this will pave the way for a significant drop in temperatures, which will return to normal between Sunday and the beginning of next week, with very cool nights and cool to mild middays.
