The Igualada Festival, which began its events this week, is preparing for a change in weather that could affect the scheduled program starting Friday.

The first days of the celebration have been marked by high temperatures, with values reaching between 37 and 39 degrees. According to meteorological data, Wednesday will remain a day of intense heat, although clouds could appear in the afternoon with the possibility of isolated showers.
The situation will become more variable on Thursday, with an increased probability of precipitation in the afternoon. This weather scenario could jeopardize traditional events such as the children's drum parade and the Protons drum parade.
Starting Friday, a drop in maximum temperatures is expected, settling around 32 degrees, accompanied by a notable increase in instability. Forecasts indicate a 90% probability of rain throughout the day, which could force the modification or suspension of activities such as fire runs or scheduled concerts.
The weekend remains with a complicated forecast. Both Saturday and Sunday, meteorological models agree on a high probability of storms, with temperatures continuing to drop to 24 degrees. The human tower exhibition, one of the most prominent events, remains subject to weather developments due to the risk of precipitation.
