In this photograph in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see how the storm was approaching Gavà Mar, on the coast of Baix Llobregat, this afternoon.

Black clouds that lurked while the plane took off from El Prat airport towards an unknown direction, appearing in the image just as it began its journey.

But, when push comes to shove, despite the dark clouds, we could adapt the expression “much ado about nothing” (it serves to indicate that something apparently important has little substance or is insignificant) to this other, “much ado and little rain.” “. Or, better said in this case, a lot of clouds and little rain.

And the dark clouds can be seen, as in this case off the coast of Gavà, but the rainfall is very weak and the drought persists in Catalonia and, especially, in the Barcelona area.

The Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya indicates at most precipitation in the regions of Girona and the Pyrenees this afternoon, but from Barcelona to Tarragona, a lot of clouds and little rain.
