The Catalan Meteorological Service has activated warnings due to the forecast of locally intense showers and thunderstorms that could bring more than 20 mm of rain in 30 minutes this afternoon in Barcelona and Baix Llobregat.

These precipitations, which could be accompanied by hail, are expected to mainly affect the afternoon and evening of this Tuesday. The forecast indicates that the meteorological phenomena will gradually extend towards the coastline as the day progresses.
Early in the morning, the tramontana wind might blow with some intensity in the north of Cap de Creus, but its effect will become more noticeable during the night and early morning from Tuesday to Wednesday. During this same period, the mistral wind is also expected to enter the Terres de l'Ebre, completing a varied meteorological outlook for the day.
