Barcelona is preparing for rain this Saturday afternoon, 9 May 2026, as a band of precipitation moves from south to north across much of the Catalan coast and pre-coastal areas, according to Betevé.

Residents can monitor the approaching weather directly via the Montjuïc camera. While May has already seen some light showers, this Saturday's episode is expected to be the first moderately significant rainfall of the month.

Moderate Rainfall Expected

Despite the likelihood of a rainy afternoon and prolonged showers, forecasters do not anticipate large quantities of rain. The episode is expected to be brief. Sunday will bring clear skies until late afternoon, with any remaining showers concentrated in the western counties of Catalonia.

Unstable Weather Ahead

The weather is set to remain relatively cool and unstable into next week. There is a possibility of a polar cold air mass arriving from Wednesday, which could lead to more unsettled conditions. Before then, Barcelona will experience a couple of warmer days, particularly on Sunday and Monday.
