Tuesday's impasse awaiting the marked change in weather

BarcelonaThe week has begun with a drop in temperatures. The summery atmosphere has persisted, but both the muggy and hot weather have eased slightly. The drop has been as much as 5°C or more in the northern interior of the country compared to Sunday, and not even in the West or the Ebro River have the maximum reached 35°C. Minimum temperatures will drop tonight, but tropical temperatures will still be present in several areas, especially along the coast and pre-coast. Tomorrow, Tuesday, calm will prevail, with only more clouds and occasional showers along the Ebro River and in the Valencian Community. Maximum temperatures will rise slightly again, but it will be a day of impasse pending the change in weather on Wednesday, when a pocket of cold air will reactivate instability, with locally strong showers and thunderstorms at all points.

All of this, above all, will pave the way for a clear drop in temperatures. From then on, we can look forward to a few days of well-controlled, breathable heat, with little heat and cool nights. Below-average temperatures will be a welcome treat for us in the middle of the summer heat.

Tuesday: last day before changes

A fairly calm and sunny Tuesday is expected in most regions. The exception will be Terres de l'Ebre and the coast and pre-coast of Valencia and Castellón, where there will be quite a few low clouds throughout the day with the risk of some scattered light showers or thunderstorms. There will also be some low clouds in the morning over the rest of the coast and pre-coast, and fairly harmless afternoon clouds will develop in the afternoon in mountainous areas. However, some isolated showers or thunderstorms cannot be ruled out in the Pyrenees and inland northeast Spain.

All this, with temperatures set to drop further. A more pleasant night, although it will still be tropical on the coast and pre-coast. Maximum temperatures will drop in the Ebro and the Valencian Community due to greater cloud cover and offshore winds. However, inland Catalonia and the Pyrenees, they will rise temporarily, bringing more heat. Many temperatures range from 27°C to 33°C, higher in the West.

Weather change Wednesday

The arrival of a pocket of cold air will increase instability on Wednesday. Showers and thunderstorms will occur in many areas, especially from the afternoon until early Thursday morning.

A change in the weather will usher in a northerly wind and cooler air, causing a significant drop in temperatures. From then on, we can look forward to a few days of relatively mild heat, unusual for this time of year. There will be little heat on the coast, below-average temperatures, and cool nights for this time of year. This situation is more typical of the last half of August than the end of July.
