The week has been characterized by significantly higher-than-usual temperatures in Terrassa and the Vallès Occidental region, affecting both daytime and nighttime hours. On Wednesday, maximum temperatures reached between 37 and 38ºC in various neighborhoods of the city.
On Thursday, the surprise was the arrival of rain accompanied by hail in the early afternoon, following weeks of drought. These showers left between 12 and 25 millimeters of water, with the Sant Pere neighborhood recording the most precipitation. These rains are expected to potentially repeat this afternoon between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
According to Ramon Navarro, a collaborator for MónTerrassa and a member of Meteoclimàtic, temperatures last weekend ranged from 32 to 38ºC maximum, with minimums between 21 and 26ºC, maintaining the trend of uncomfortable tropical nights.
For the upcoming weekend, a respite from the intense heat is expected. The presence of clouds will help moderate temperatures, making them lower than in previous weeks, particularly on Saturday. However, no rain is anticipated, and the weather is expected to remain stable, with a mix of sunshine and developing daytime clouds in the afternoons. Temperatures will rise slightly on Sunday.
The forecast for Terrassa indicates maximum temperatures of 29ºC on Saturday and 31ºC on Sunday, with minimums of 21ºC on both nights. Other towns in the region such as Castellbisbal, Matadepera, Ullastrell, Viladecavalls, and Vacarisses will also experience milder temperatures.
For those planning to visit the Sant Llorenç Natural Park, now reopened, it is recommended to consult websites like Climameteoinfo, Meteoguilleries, or MeteoMuntanya for real-time information on mountain conditions. For general information about the city or its neighborhoods, Meteoclimatic can be consulted.
