Stable temperatures but with morning fogs in the Camp de Tarragona
The Camp de Tarragona starts the day with temperatures that do not rise, even slightly dropping compared to yesterday at the same time. But the calm on the thermometer is not widespread: the northern and eastern thirds of the country, including part of the Camp, wake up amid fog and low clouds that filter the sun.
The reality is clear: the day begins with a cool atmosphere and a layer of low stratus clouds that can complicate visibility and cool the air. This is especially true in the Camp de Tarragona, where the temperature does not accompany the usual rise expected in mid-spring.
How the morning looks in the Camp de Tarragona
Temperatures slightly decreasing
According to the official meteorological service, the Camp de Tarragona has experienced a temperature similar to or slightly lower than the previous day at the same time.
This is unusual at this time of year, when the day’s progress usually brings rapid warming early on.
Presence of low stratus clouds and fog
The night and morning brought a layer of low stratus clouds covering part of the area, leading to scattered fog and a more humid feeling in the air.
These low clouds can affect visibility, especially in areas closer to the coast or valleys, and will persist for several hours.
Comparison with other areas of Catalonia
The northern and eastern thirds also affected
Beyond the Camp de Tarragona, the northern and eastern thirds of the country experience a similar meteorological situation with persistent low stratus clouds.
These elements cause the sky to be more overcast and prevent temperatures from rising quickly, keeping the environment cool.
Areas with more marked differences
In other parts of Catalonia, where these low clouds are absent, a slight temperature increase is noticeable compared to the day before yesterday, a difference not perceived in the Camp.
This highlights the variability that can exist within a few kilometers, especially due to the local action of the wind and sea breeze.
What to expect for the rest of the day?
Sun between clouds and slight rise
Forecasts indicate that, as the sun gains strength, the low stratus clouds will dissipate.
But it will still be necessary to wait a bit for this to happen, and temperatures will start to rise more decisively toward midday.
Recommendations for residents
If you plan to move around the Camp de Tarragona in the morning, prepare for fog and reduced visibility conditions in some stretches.
A piece of advice that is never too much, especially for drivers and outdoor workers.
