Catalonia's meteorological service has issued an orange alert for torrential rain in the Empordà region, Gironès, Garrotxa, and Pla d'Estany for Monday afternoon and Tuesday. Intense downpours could bring up to 20 litres per square metre in just 30 minutes.
The affected areas include parts of the central coast and pre-coastal strip, as well as the north-east of Catalonia, according to the Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya. This new round of warnings follows forecasts indicating significant rainfall.
Protecció Civil, Catalonia's civil protection agency, has activated its surveillance system for torrential rains. They are urging residents to take extreme precautions during this weather event.
Preparing for Heavy Rainfall
Officials advise people to secure loose outdoor items, clear drains, and avoid unnecessary travel, especially in areas prone to flooding. The agency also reminds the public to stay informed through official channels and emergency services.
This weather pattern is expected to continue into Tuesday, with similar conditions forecast. Authorities will monitor developments closely and update the public as needed. Further alerts or changes to the current warnings will be communicated by the meteorological service.
