The rain has given a certain respite to Catalonia this Sunday, but the presence of the DANA Adam will cause a new day of persistent and widespread rainfall across much of the country throughout this Monday. Within 24 hours, the downpours could leave accumulations of more than 100 liters per square meter. The President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, has warned that the risk associated with this cold drop is still "not over" and has requested maximum caution in the face of the forecast for this new episode. According to meteorological predictions, however, at the moment there is no area marked with a red warning and the rainfall is expected to be less intense than that experienced this past weekend. However, the affected territory still needs to be "calibrated" and these phenomena have a point of uncertainty that does not always allow for anticipating them with so much lead time.

Catalonia is once again suffering a critical rainstorm. The downpours this Saturday evening have fallen mainly in the Vallès Oriental and Maresme areas, where what is, for now, the most serious incident of this storm has occurred. A team made up of the Generalitat Fire Department, Mossos d'Esquadra, and Maritime Rescue is working on the search for a woman who, according to several witnesses, reportedly fell into the stream in Cabrera de Mar shortly before eight in the evening. The operation continued throughout the night and is continuing this Sunday morning, expanding the search radius to the river mouth at the sea.

The Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating the discovery of a corpse floating in the sea between Sitges and Castelldefels, near Port Ginesta, which all indications point to being the lifeless body of the minor who went missing in Granollers. Sources consulted by the ARA indicate that the corpse, which is in an advanced state of decomposition, was wearing clothing that would match that of Rami, the twelve-year-old boy with autism who was last seen almost two weeks ago in Granollers during the floods. The President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, confirmed this Thursday morning that it is indeed the missing minor and has sent a message of condolence to the family and friends.

It has been 10 days since Rami, a 12-year-old minor residing in Granollers, left his home in the middle of the night, coinciding with the heavy rain episode in the capital of the Vallès Oriental. Since then, he was only seen again that same night, approximately an hour after leaving home, entering the reception of a hotel in Granollers and quickly leaving again. He is a boy with autism who had already left his home on other occasions, up to four times. In this case, the main hypothesis is that he did so scared by the storm, a situation that had already happened other times.

The images of the Besòs river full to the brim and about to overflow a week ago have been one of the most prominent photographs left by the storm of recent days on the Catalan coast. A scene that had not been seen for decades and that not only made many in the area remember tragedies like the 1962 flood, but also put the spotlight back on the urbanization project around the Three Chimneys of Sant Adrià.

October. Elections are called in Spain, and in Catalonia, it rains buckets with lightning and thunder and a lot of water and a lot of lightning and thunder. October. Elections are called in Spain, and in Catalonia, it rains buckets with thunder and lightning and a lot of lightning and a lot of thunder and a lot of water and Llarena lifts the arrest warrant for Puigdemont. Not because of the Llarena of the Supreme Court but because of the Constitutional Court and not because of the Constitutional Court but because of the CJEU. The rain continues and the campaign begins before the elections have even been called because the campaign is always underway. The rain has the advantage that, at some point, it stops raining. The campaign, on the other hand, always overwhelms us. Nothing is so much for the country as it is for the survival of the parties. Oh, the parties. For personal survival itself. Oh, the egos. There are those who, without us knowing how, always manage to stay on the surface and not drown. Mazón. There is, above all, a déjà-vu, a kind of stalled commuter train, or a commuter train, it doesn't need the adjective, carrying the same passengers from one election to the next. The motivation has to do with the fear of those who might come and the lack of motivation with the fact that there is no one to excite us. No one told us that voting was easy. They only told us to vote. And they will put up posters and banners as if we were walking down the street today looking up and not looking at our mobile phones, which is what we do with our necks bent. We don't see the clouds. We only turn off the ES-Alert. October. Elections are called in Spain, and in Catalonia, it rains buckets with lightning and thunder. October. It stops raining and a longed-for coolness arrives. So that we don't get too excited, since we are Catalans, they already warn that the coolness is temporary. A taste of autumn. Honey on the lips. I sweat just thinking that the heat of the summer that made us sweat through everything might return.

The rain gives no respite. Catalonia is experiencing its fourth consecutive day of downpours and floods across a large part of the country this Tuesday. Once again, Es-Alerts have sounded on the mobile phones of many Catalans from the Terres de l'Ebre to the Gironès. Once again, several roads have been rendered impassable due to accumulated water, and images of firefighters rescuing people trapped by water inside cars have been repeated. The forecast is for the storm to last until after midnight and for the downpours to continue this Wednesday, especially in the coastal, pre-coastal, Pyrenees, and western Pre-Pyrenees regions with varying intensity.

With the Catalan coast and pre-coastal areas still recovering from the effects of the weekend's downpour, the storm has returned to punish Barcelona and its surroundings this Monday with another extremely strong storm that took everyone by surprise and at times created truly dangerous situations. The Minister of the Interior herself, Núria Parlon, has acknowledged that the situation caught them off guard because, although a situation of atmospheric instability was forecast, an episode of this magnitude was not expected. In addition to numerous ravages, the downpours have left two people missing, whom emergency teams continue to search for.

Granollers has taken the worst of the storm this Monday. The capital of the Vallès Oriental region has accumulated 343 liters since Saturday night, and just between midnight and ten o'clock this Monday morning, the rain left more than 100 liters there. All of this has caused a critical scenario, with the Congost river at its limit, many streets flooded, and even two sinkholes on the road near the courthouse that forced the temporary evacuation of two buildings. "It was chaos; in 10 minutes everything was flooded. Two more minutes and my car would have been stuck at the roundabout," says Glòria Ruiz, owner of the Destaca dry cleaners, which is right at the roundabout that gives access to the South beltway of Granollers and which was flooded by the torrential rains.

The violent storm that has hit a good part of Catalonia with force this weekend has left a toll of two fatalities, one missing young man and more than 200 rescues of trapped people, in addition to numerous material damages and many disruptions to the country's mobility. About twenty counties have been on maximum alert and the Government has restricted mobility and activities to minimize risks. Even so, two men have died and another remains missing; they have been searching for him all day, but they have not been successful and the search operation will continue this Monday at daylight. It is a young man from Pineda de Mar who allegedly approached to look at the stream, slipped and was dragged by the water, which was coming down with force spurred by the torrential rains.

The worst part of the severe storm this Sunday was borne by the Maresme, the Vallès Oriental and the south of the Costa Brava. The heavy storms that discharged with force in Barcelona and the metropolitan area on Saturday moved up along the Girona coastline from south to north, with records exceeding 150 liters in many parts of the Empordà, and have left two fatalities and a young person missing in Pineda de Mar. Several towns spent the morning with flooded streets, road closures and damage caused by overflowing rivers and streams that cross urbanized areas before flowing into the sea.

The rain and wind storm that has battered Catalonia this weekend has left spectacular images of flooding, tens of thousands of people affected to one degree or another, and a provisional toll of two dead and one missing. In the coming days, it will be necessary to refine the damage assessment and the management of the emergency, but from the outset, two things can already be stated. The ES-Alert warnings may be annoying at times, but this time they have proven their usefulness. Seeing the magnitude of the flows coming down streams and ravines, it is not difficult to think that without a generalized warning there would have been more victims. The citizenry, in general terms, has already learned to heed the recommendations and acts accordingly.

Human nature is reactive: it shrinks before the announcement of danger, and puffs out its chest, blusters, and becomes careless when the danger has passed without causing great havoc. This weekend it was curious to see, on social media, that those who showed the most apprehension in the face of the warnings about the climatic anomaly arriving in Catalonia – mini-hurricane, medicane, or Mediterranean hurricane: all the names are rather ugly – later mocked the alarm once the worst had passed, or so it seemed.

Catalonia is experiencing an exceptional weekend due to a severe storm that has forced the paralysis of a large part of the country. From eight o'clock on Saturday evening until two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, mobility and many of the planned activities have been restricted in about twenty counties due to the threat of a 'medicane', a Mediterranean mini-hurricane that can be very violent and which will become more frequent due to the climate crisis. Torrential rains and strong winds have forced the activation of maximum alert on the coast and pre-coast of Barcelona, Tarragona, and Girona, as well as in the counties of Osona and Moianès, where flooding has occurred and there have been people who have been trapped and unable to return home. Sants station will be open all night and people who need to will be allowed to stay there to sleep.

The storm arriving in Catalonia has caused the suspension of sports activities and "those involving travel to the regions affected by the Inuncat plan due to the intensity and risk of rain accumulation on the coast and the pre-coastal area", as reported by the Generalitat. The Second Division match between Sabadell and Andorra, scheduled for 6:30 PM, is one of the affected events. After hours of talks, the League finally agreed to postpone the match after speaking with both parties. The match will be played, pending official confirmation, this Sunday at 9 PM, coinciding with the Girona match. The Girona team plays at 9 PM against Mallorca, a match that is currently going ahead. Another affected football match is the Primera RFEF game between Sant Andreu and Antequera, scheduled for 8 PM at the Can Dragó field. The match will be played this Sunday at 5:30 PM.

Once again, the disparity between weather forecasts and the final outcome of the storm has reopened the debate this Wednesday regarding the Civil Protection alert system. The heavy rains initially depicted by the models, which led the Government to close schools and ask for mobility to be limited in Alt and Baix Penedès, Garraf, Baix Llobregat, and Vallès Occidental, did not end up occurring, and the executive ended up lifting the alert at midday. A scenario that has raised some criticism and has led the Minister of the Interior, Núria Parlon, to defend the management of the Catalan executive.

Yesterday, early in the morning, in Torredembarra, the sound of working chainsaws could be heard. It was the day after the storm. The new episode of violent weather had caused about fifty trees to fall in different parts of the municipality, and they needed to be removed. Some were blocking the way, others had fallen on parked vehicles or could pose a danger to pedestrians. A large cypress tree fell on two cars on Monday afternoon. One was driving with four people inside, one of whom was hit on the head and had to be taken to the Municipal Primary Care Center (CAP) for treatment. Precisely, another tree had fallen and affected the pediatrics module of this facility, and by night it had already been intervened to remove it. Some shops were closed with staff trying to remove the water that had entered the premises as best they could.

Two of the three people injured by the fall of a wall in Roda de Berà during the torrential rain episode early Saturday morning have died. They were a mother and her 18-year-old daughter, who had been trapped under the wall of a home that collapsed in the port area of the municipality. Both were transferred to the Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona in critical and serious condition, respectively. Health sources confirm that the victims of this tragic incident died during the night. of a mother and her 18-year-old daughter, who had been trapped under the wall of a home that collapsed in the port area of the municipality. Both were transferred to the Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona in critical and serious condition, respectively. Health sources confirm that the victims of this tragic incident died during the night.

Tarragona suffered this Monday afternoon the brunt of the storm that affected the country. A violent hailstorm left rarely seen images in the city, with strong gusts of wind and large hailstones. The most intense rains lasted a few minutes, but they were enough for the water to flow down streets in El Serrallo such as Sant Pere and Gravina. Furthermore, lines R14, R15, and RT-1 were cut between Móra la Nova and Reus due to the rain. One lane of the AP-7 in the northbound direction at the height of Tarragona was also affected, having to be closed due to fallen trees on the road, which caused a five-kilometer tailback.

Nearly 70% of Catalan municipalities are now considered high or very high risk areas for flooding and are therefore required to have a flood preparedness and action plan in case of heavy rain. This is according to the updated Inuncat plan, approved by the Catalan government on Tuesday, which raises the number of municipalities at risk to 656 (164 more than before). The remaining 231 municipalities are considered moderate or low risk; however, Civil Protection recommends that they also have their action plans ready. After 20 years in effect, the Inuncat plan has been updated to adapt to the effects of climate change. The new document—work on since the pandemic—includes a thorough review of the calculation criteria and the way warnings are communicated to the public. According to government and Civil Protection sources, the new criteria are already in place "internally," but they clarify that the official change and the implementation of the new system throughout the territory will take place "during the month of April," once all computer systems have been adapted.
