Summary

Heavy rain fell along the Catalan coast starting Saturday midday, with more than 100 millimeters recorded overnight in numerous locations. The extreme weather, linked to a DANA weather phenomenon, triggered red-level danger warnings across Barcelona, Girona, and Tarragona provinces. Two people died: a 75-year-old man killed when a wall collapsed at a campsite in Tordera, and another man found dead in a flooded garage in Montornès del Vallès. A third person remained missing in Pineda de Mar. The storms caused widespread disruption: 385 flights were cancelled at Barcelona-El Prat Airport, train services were suspended in Valencia and Catalonia, nearly 18,000 people lost electricity in Barcelona and surrounding areas, and dozens of municipalities suspended classes. Rivers exceeded danger thresholds, homes and vehicles were flooded, and emergency crews conducted multiple rescue operations. Authorities issued travel restrictions across 20 districts and advised against non-essential travel to the region.
