A weekend of uncertain weather and less warm atmosphere arrives

The weather has been fully spring-like for days, with scattered showers and thunderstorms and a temperature much higher than normal, as demonstrated by us closing the warmest April since records began in our country. This weekend will not change this trend and the weather will remain very changeable with new irregular showers in some areas, although not everywhere by any means. A typically spring-like situation of instability that will also continue next week, with temperatures gradually decreasing and normalizing, although still with thermal mildness during the central hours of the day.

Saturday: dawn with rain in the south

Saturday, instability will concentrate mainly on the western half and the Pyrenees, especially in the western sector. During the first part of the day, showers or drizzles may fall in the regions of Tarragona, Lleida, southern Barcelona, and the Valencian Country, and as the hours pass –especially in the afternoon– the showers will increasingly concentrate in the Pyrenees, Pre-Pyrenees, and nearby areas, locally with thunderstorms. More clearings and calm between Girona and Barcelona. It will be during the early morning when it could rain more heavily in Terres de l'Ebre and Camp de Tarragona, with some local downpours. The maximum temperature will drop a little, although it will still exceed 23 °C in many places.

In this regard, Meteocat has issued an alert for rain intensity in half an hour affecting the regions of Baix Ebre, Montsià, Ribera d'Ebre, Priorat, Tarragonès, and Baix Camp during Saturday morning and early morning.

Sunday: more scattered showers

The weather will remain unsettled, with a risk of irregular showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon, in parts of the Pyrenees, pre-Pyrenees, coastal range, and Ports. Elsewhere, the sky will remain changeable, without ruling out a weak, local drizzle or shower, but with generally abundant cloudiness. This instability will be maintained thanks to the presence of a small upper-level cold pocket that will fuel the growth of clouds and will be the cause of a Monday with more widespread rain, as at the beginning of the week it could rain in any region.
