Uncertain and changeable weather, with new showers

BarcelonaThe weather situation is uncertain, with some cold air aloft and a cold air pocket (DANA) over the Gulf of Cádiz. All of this makes the environment unsafe. Although the most severe instability is far from our territory, here in Catalonia we will continue to have the possibility of new showers.

The models indicate that the showers will continue to flow during the night and early morning, and tomorrow morning, it will still remain overcast. Temperatures will rise on Tuesday, but will drop by the end of the week and become somewhat cooler across the country.

Meteocat maintains its warning for heavy rain and showers that could accumulate between 30 and 40 l/m.² In less than half an hour, accompanied by hail and hail. The regions most likely to experience the heaviest showers are Berguedà, Ripollès, and La Garrotxa. A severe weather warning has been issued.

In fact, at 7:30 p.m., the storms were already raining heavily in La Garrotxa and Ripollès, as can be seen in the radar image. Up to that time, they had accumulated 8 l/m.² in Núria, 6 l/m² in Olot and 4 l/m² in Molló.

The heavy rain warning will remain in effect until the early hours of the morning.

Monday: Overcast in the south and stronger showers in the afternoon in the north

We'll start the week with a cloudy morning, with bands of clouds moving in from the south and west. During the morning, light drizzle or showers will fall in the south and move toward the pre-coastal area. Only a few thin clouds will appear in the West, as well as in central Catalonia and the Pyrenees, but they will not produce any precipitation.

Temperatures will cool slightly in the West, falling below 33°C. Elsewhere, temperatures will range between 28°C and 31°C. The muggy feeling will persist along the coast.

During the afternoon, the southern drizzle will disappear, and dark clouds will appear in the north of the country. Showers will fall in the Pyrenees, Pre-Pyrenees, the northeast interior, and Els Ports. Locally, showers may be intense and accompanied by thunderstorms.

From midweek: more instability and new storms

Midweek, we'll be watching for the arrival of a trough associated with an Atlantic low, bringing cold air aloft and once again triggering atmospheric instability. Showers and thunderstorms are expected, locally of some intensity. In fact, the weather models indicate widespread precipitation across the west, the Pyrenees, and central Catalonia, with some downpours along the coast between Wednesday and Thursday, as well as in the pre-coastal region. Temperatures will drop starting Wednesday, with a generally cooler atmosphere. We'll keep an eye on it!
