Catalonia's Civil Protection agency sent a new Es-Alert this Sunday to five counties in the region to remind residents of the mobility restrictions in place, following a weekend marked by intense rainfall.
Barcelona and its surrounding area experienced their rainiest Saturday in at least twenty years, according to data from the Catalan meteorological service Meteocat, while the Besòs River exceeded the threshold considered dangerous.
Restrictions in place
Catalan authorities are keeping mobility restrictions active in the affected areas as a precautionary measure against the risk posed by the accumulated rainfall and the condition of the riverbeds.
No additional incidents have been publicly specified beyond the Besòs exceeding its danger threshold as of this alert.
Civil Protection has asked residents of the affected counties to follow official recommendations while the alert remains in effect.
