New locally heavy showers in some regions at the weekend's door

BarcelonaThe showers of the last few hours have been fairly localized, but have left some small amounts of rain, especially in parts of the coast and the Pre-Pyrenees. Between yesterday and early this morning, the most notable rainfall was 49 l/m² in El Vendrell (Baix Penedès), 33 of them in just half an hour. Also notable were 35 l/m² in the port of Barcelona, ​​​​30 l/m² in Torredembarra (Tarragonès) and Montesquiu (Osona), and 24 l/m² in La Quar (Berguedà). However, they have been very localized, and only a few kilometers away, there has been little rain. And this is what will also happen today, with a calmer tomorrow and, from midday and into the afternoon, further very irregular showers and storms in parts of the coast, pre-coast, Central Catalonia, and the Girona Pyrenees. Locally, some intense storms could fall, leaving more than 20 l/m² in just half an hour, so Meteocat maintains alerts for heavy rain in more than twenty regions.

Friday: another unsafe day

The weather will remain unsettled today, with very irregular showers and thunderstorms in some areas of the country. The occasional shower may fall along the coast until early morning, but generally there will be a break from the rain, with variable skies and morning fog. Showers will return from midday and into the afternoon in parts of the coast, the pre-coast, central Catalonia, and the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees, especially in Girona. The occasional storm will be heavy again, but it will rain very irregularly and by no means everywhere. This irregularity makes it very difficult to determine exactly which municipalities will experience rain and which will not.

Scattered and locally intense afternoon showers will also occur in parts of the Balearic Islands and inland parts of the Valencian Community. All this with temperatures remaining similar and, therefore, moderate and fairly normal for the time of year. Moderately cool at night and in the early morning, with many highs of 18°C to 23°C.

The weekend will end with a front

On Saturday, the weather will be calmer in most regions, although it will not clear up. There will be some cloudy periods with variable skies, with more sunshine in the Lleida region and surrounding areas. However, there will still be a risk of some localized showers along coastal stretches and along the Ebro River, as well as some afternoon showers in the northeast inland and along the pre-coastal area. All of this will be limited during an overall quite productive day.

However, a new change in the weather will approach on Sunday. Throughout the day, the skies will remain variable, and some scattered showers may fall in coastal and pre-coastal areas. This will be a prelude to the arrival of an Atlantic front between dusk and Monday. The lightest rainfall will reach our country, as the front will weaken as it crosses the Peninsula, but some scattered showers will resume. The Pyrenees and the Lleida Pre-Pyrenees are the areas most likely to rain. All this with temperatures that will remain relatively unchanged overall.
