The Meteorological Service of Catalonia has issued a moderate danger warning for wind in the Anoia region this Saturday, with maximum gusts potentially exceeding 25 meters per second.

Following the severe wind episode last Thursday, which resulted in one death and eight injuries across Catalonia, authorities remain on high alert. Although the intensity is expected to be lower than the previous event, Meteocat has set a danger level of 2 out of 6 for the Anoia area.
Unlike Thursday's winds, which blew from the west, this Saturday the wind will come from the north. This change in direction may affect the region's landscape differently, while the overall risk level remains categorized as moderate.
