Weather in Tarragona this Thursday: unbearable heat and showers in the Pyrenees

Tarragona prepares for a day of intense heat with temperatures that may exceed 35 °C inland. The morning will be sunny, but the afternoon will bring changes worth noting.

The weather forecast for this Thursday, May 29, predicts an increase in cloudiness during the afternoon and the possibility of light showers in the Pyrenees, according to official data from Meteocat.

What the morning will be like in Tarragona and inland

Stable and sunny weather

The first hours of the day are expected to be cloudless. The sun will shine strongly, which will already start to increase the feeling of heat.

Rising temperatures

Maximum temperatures between 32 and 36 °C will be recorded inland in the province, especially in areas like Alt Camp and Priorat, where the thermometer will rise quickly.

Afternoon changes: clouds and showers in the Pyrenees

More clouds but little rain in Tarragona

The coast and the city will experience an increase in cloudiness, but without significant rain. The sky will close slightly, with some clouds that will cool the atmosphere.

Light showers in the mountains

In the Pyrenees, however, there will be the possibility of some light and isolated showers, not expected on the plains or the Tarragonian coast.

Extreme temperatures and heat wave risk

Ponent and the Ebre valley, the hardest hit

Temperatures may reach up to 37-38 °C in Ponent and the Ebre valley, including Baix Ebre, with humidity that will not ease throughout the day.

Tips to cope with the heat

Avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours and stay hydrated will be key. Intense heat can especially affect the elderly and children.

If you thought the heat had already given you a break, this Thursday will make you sweat again. And all this while the Pyrenees resist drying out with some showers acting as an unexpected guest.
