On Tuesday, 9 June, Barcelona is expected to see the warmest and most humid conditions of the two days. Overnight temperatures in the city centre are forecast to stay between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius, with a daytime high of 27 degrees. The chance of rain is low, at 15% in the morning, although a few drops cannot be ruled out until mid-morning.
Clouds from a weather front over northern Catalonia may bring showers to the Pyrenees and Pre-Pyrenees, but Barcelona is expected to avoid most of that rain. The city should then see plenty of sunshine, with only occasional broken low cloud. Winds are expected to be light, mainly sea breezes, becoming a little stronger in the afternoon.
Wednesday, 10 June, should be slightly cooler and a little less humid. Temperatures are forecast to range from 19 to 21 degrees Celsius overnight, with a maximum of around 25 degrees. The risk of rain remains low, though it rises slightly to 25% in the morning, and cloud cover may be more variable through the day.
UV levels will be very high, at 8, so sunscreen is advised for anyone spending time outdoors. Officials also recommend a cap or hat and regular water intake, especially for people attending events in the open. Betevé says the forecast may change, and further updates are available through its WhatsApp channel and social media.
