This weekend most of us in Barcelona woke up to the roar of thunder in the middle of the night. And it is that the storms have made the city’s sky vibrate.
We have also seen sea sleeves, which are like small tornadoes that form in the sea and go from a surface to the cloud. Now the question is what will the rest of the week be like, will we see the sun rise again?
The answer to this last question is no, since, at least until next Tuesday, November 5 (8 days from now) it will continue to rain in the Catalan capital, although the storms will only persist until Wednesday.
Torrential rains from Wednesday
And is that, according to the AEMET, the State Meteorological Agency, a DANA is approaching, a meteorological phenomenon typical of autumn and spring that is accompanied by heavy rains. Specifically, Wednesday will be the strongest day and where the rains will be more intense.
In addition, Civil Protection has activated the Pla INUNCAT especially for the lands of the Ebro and southern Catalonia by the possibility of heavy rains, as it is expected to fall more than 100mm of rain in a period of 24 hours.
Regarding temperatures, these will not change much with respect to these days: the rain will not come accompanied by cold and thermometers will remain around 20ºC. So it will cool down a bit and it is better to always wear a sweater as usual (also an umbrella, of course).
Strong swells on the beaches of Barcelona
Protecció Civil has also activated the PROCICAT alert for strong waves on the south coast and part of the central coast. From Civil Protection is recommended to stay away from breakwaters, breakwaters and boardwalks, as well as streams, ravines and other flood zones and not to cross areas with water accumulation.
