Since last Friday, the autonomous community has experienced a period of unstable weather with strong winds and coastal phenomena. Despite a slight respite on Sunday afternoon, rain reactivated strongly during the early hours and morning of Monday, especially in the northeast of the territory.
The province of Girona is under an orange warning, with accumulations that could exceed 50 l/m² and locally 100 l/m² in Alt and Baix Empordà, Pla de l’Estany, and Gironès. In the province of Barcelona, the coast and pre-coastal areas maintain a yellow warning, with intense showers expected from noon onwards, accumulating 30 to 40 l/m².
The Levante wind will blow very strongly in the northeast, with gusts that could exceed 60 km/h, forcing the activation of the red alert for maximum danger on the Empordà beaches.
Snow is also a major factor in the Eastern Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees, with an orange warning in Ripollès where the snow line is between 1,400 and 1,600 meters, and over 30 centimeters of new snow are expected. The most unstable moment is anticipated in the early hours of Tuesday, when wind gusts will exceed 70 km/h and the coastal warning will escalate to red across the entire coastline.
The meteorological calm will not arrive until Wednesday, with a generalized improvement and clear skies opening up on the coast. However, the humidity generated by the recent rains will facilitate the formation of thick fog in the central depression. Maximum temperatures will rise again, surpassing the 15ºC mark.
