Catalonia weather shift brings rain and cooler temperatures

A significant weather shift is arriving in Catalonia, bringing relief from weeks of intense heat and extreme temperatures. The arrival of a polar air mass and a trough is expected to trigger rain, storms, and potential localized hail.

Meteorological experts indicate that the change will move from south to north, starting with increased cloud cover and instability. Coastal areas and the interior, including parts of Tarragona, central Catalonia, and the eastern Pyrenees, are expected to experience showers and thunderstorms. This atmospheric transition follows a period of high temperatures, particularly in provinces like Lleida, and is expected to continue through August 24.
