What to Expect from the Upcoming Storms in Barcelona and Catalonia
Are you prepared for the incoming storms? Starting Thursday, residents can expect a significant weather shift with rain and strong winds. This easterly storm will impact not just Barcelona but also the surrounding areas, leading to rough seas along the coast.
Understanding the Impact of the Storms on Catalonia’s Water Supply
With the reservoirs currently at just over 31% capacity, the upcoming storms are crucial for replenishing water supplies. The expected rainfall could provide a much-needed boost to these levels, especially after a dry spell. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Rainfall is expected to start Thursday, with varying intensity across regions.
- Wind gusts may exceed 60 km/h, particularly near the coast.
- The storm could lead to waves over 3 meters high.
- Another storm, possibly named Jana, may follow this weekend.
Forecast Details: What to Expect on Thursday and Friday
On Thursday, light and intermittent rain is anticipated across many areas, particularly along the coast and in the pre-coastal regions. The southern parts of Tarragona may experience heavier rainfall. By Friday, conditions will likely worsen, with more widespread and intense rain expected, especially in Barcelona and Girona.
The Weekend: A Look Ahead to Borrasca Jana
As we move into the weekend, the forecast indicates the arrival of Borrasca Jana, which could bring even more rain and potentially lower snow levels in the mountains. This storm is predicted to peak between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, with significant rainfall expected across Catalonia.
With these storms on the way, it’s essential for residents to stay informed and prepared. The upcoming weather changes could have a lasting impact on water supplies and daily activities in the region.
