ending a month of October marked by a prolonged episode of post-summer heatwhich has set several records, including the latest hot day in Lleida (30.5ºC on October 27), we can begin to notice that this anomalous situation has its days numbered.
It will be with the change of the month, although these last few days of overcast skies that have slowed down the peaks in maximum temperatures have already begun to be slightly noticeable, when we enter what is considered autumn on a meteorological level.
Until this Wednesday gentle drop in temperatures, which began over the weekend, will remain firm to reach values close to, perhaps a couple of degrees above, what is usual for the month of November. From the middle of the week, the thermometers will remain stable or will rise very slightly, but already with a feeling of having changed the season.

This thermal drop will be accompanied by a general increase in cloudiness due to the passage of several Atlantic fronts, especially on the coast, and the possibility of some rainfall on Monday afternoon and All Saints’ Day.
Follow the short-term drought
Although according to the EMCWF model, November will be a slightly rainier month on the central and southern coast and no drier in the rest of Cataloniait will not be good news at the water level.
And it is that, although autumn is both on the coast and pre-coastal the season where the greatest amount of precipitation occurs, would be totally insufficient to alleviate the drought that devastates Catalonia.
In this sense, the forecast of the ACA is not at all encouraging, with the possibility of more restrictions on the use and distribution of water to compensate for the poor state of the Catalan reservoirs (at 36% of their capacity, when the average the last decade is close to 70%) is something that the body of the Generalitat has on the table.
