Overview
- Homologated stations in Barcelona measured exceptional December totals, including 160 l/m² in Raval, 150 in Zona Universitària, 138 at the port (AEMET) and 126 at the airport, with some neighborhood gauges reporting up to about 200.
- Analyses reported by El Periódico indicate 2025 is likely Barcelona’s first year with a positive rainfall balance since the recent extreme drought, pending official validation of late‑year data.
- In the Vigo/Pontevedra area, the year closed with 1,817 l/m²—slightly below 2024’s 1,871—with roughly half of 2025’s rain falling in the last four months.
- November was the peak month there with 455 l/m², and the single rainiest day was 5 November with 61 l/m², a concentration that eased water‑scarcity alerts but also brought flooding and shellfish mortality.
- After a cloudy, wet second half of December in Catalonia, forecasts call for a colder, more stable New Year’s Day with sun and morning fog, before a brief return to unsettled, colder conditions later in the week.
