Weekend with a full autumn atmosphere and calm weather

BarcelonaThe temperature did not drop as much as it did last Friday early this morning, with lows of 0 to 2 ºC in inland points, after the sub-zero values of Friday morning. Even so, the cold morning atmosphere remains, intense for the dates. During the weekend the thermometers will continue to recover little by little, but the night cold and the mildness or little heat during the day will remain. No rain is expected anywhere.

Saturday: sun and thermal contrast

This Saturday, sun and calm will dominate everywhere, with practically no exceptions. There will only be a few decorative brushstrokes of thin clouds, some local low clouds on the south coast, and some harmless afternoon clouds in the Pyrenees. Until the morning, the north wind will blow at both ends of the country, but in the afternoon, only the tramontana wind will remain in the Alt Empordà.

Temperatures will rise, both by day and by night. The increase will be especially notable at mid and high altitudes in the Pyrenees. Even so, we will wake up to cold weather again. Many minimum temperatures will range between 4 and 9 ºC inland and in the pre-coastal areas, they will be lower in the Pyrenees –where some frosts will recur– and will be between 10 and 15 ºC on the coast. In the middle of the day it will be milder, with many maximums of 18 to 24 ºC. There will be a thermal contrast between the minimums and the maximums, so we will have to dress in layers.

Sunday: small changes

Calm will return to dominate the last day of the weekend. Even so, a tail of a front will brush against the Pyrenees and cause an increase in cloud bands throughout the day. Sky more veiled and variable, especially in the afternoon, but without precipitation. Only on the northern Pyrenean face might a drop or a weak and isolated shower escape. All this with minimum temperatures slightly higher, but maximums similar and in check. The north wind will end up disappearing in the Empordà.

Quiet weather next week

For the coming days, calm will continue to dominate, with almost no risk of showers anywhere. Temperatures will rise slowly, with more warmth at midday and nights that are not as cold. Long-term maps indicate that the second half of October could be unsettled again, with new precipitation. There are still days left and all of this will have to be specified.
