Wednesday will be colder and a day of inactivity while waiting for another front
Temperatures will remain below average, with a risk of some morning showers between Barcelona and Girona.
BarcelonaThe weakening front that crossed us yesterday made its way through with little fanfare, bringing mostly cloud cover and scant rain. During the early hours, a few showers fell in the Girona region, with a maximum accumulation of 1 liter per square meter in Alt Empordà, as well as on the northern slopes of the Pyrenees, reaching up to 5 liter per square meter in Certascan (at an altitude of 2,400 meters in Pallars Sobirà). This morning, there's still a chance of isolated showers in the Pyrenees and between Girona and Barcelona, but overall, Wednesday will be calm, with northerly winds in the outer reaches and colder temperatures as they remain even lower. Another weakening front will arrive on Thursday, and the long weekend for the Immaculate Conception looks set to be quite pleasant and enjoyable, with milder weather.
Wednesday: Temperatures drop
During the morning, a few isolated showers or very localized downpours are possible in the Pyrenees and between the southern Girona region and the coast and pre-coastal areas of Barcelona. However, no precipitation is expected anywhere for the rest of the day. The sun will generally prevail, with some remaining cloud cover in the Pyrenees and northeast. Only a few scattered showers are expected between Mallorca and Menorca.
The mistral and tramontana winds will blow throughout the day in the south and in the Empordà region, while in the Ponent region and in the central and southern districts of Barcelona, light to moderate westerly winds will prevail. Temperatures will be falling, with cooler conditions both day and night. Many highs will range between 10 and 15 ºC.
New front worn down on Thursday
The passage of a weakening Atlantic front on Thursday will bring another day with considerable cloud cover, but little rain. Light precipitation will return to the Pyrenees, with the snow level between 1,100 and 1,300 meters. Scattered, light showers or drizzle are also expected in other areas, particularly in the northern and western parts of the region. Overall, temperatures will be similar to or slightly lower than usual.
From Friday onwards and throughout the long weekend of the Immaculate Conception, the weather is expected to be quite calm and pleasant. Only some light, intermittent rain is expected on the northern slopes of the Pyrenees. Temperatures will rise significantly towards the end of the week, with milder middays contrasting with the cold mornings.
