The city of Barcelona is experiencing a stable and sunny Tuesday due to the Azores high-pressure system, serving as a brief calm before Storm Pedro brings severe winds to the region.

After weeks of rain and snow in the highlands, Catalonia sees a return to sunny conditions. In Barcelona, local wind patterns might still bring some cloud cover and isolated light showers around noon, though temperatures remain mild.
The weather is set to change on Wednesday evening as Storm Pedro approaches. Forecasts predict wind gusts exceeding 70 km/h in Barcelona and reaching up to 100 km/h in nearby areas like Penedès and the coastal mountains.
By Thursday, the windstorm will intensify, particularly affecting the southern regions of Tarragona. However, a long-term stable period is expected to begin this weekend, bringing ten days of calm and pleasant temperatures to the entire territory.
