Storm Nils has caused mobility chaos across Catalonia this February 12, resulting in road closures, railway restrictions, and the cancellation of 44 flights at Barcelona Airport.

The severe windstorm forced authorities to implement alternative traffic flow on the N-II in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres due to fallen trees. Similar issues affected the C-31c between Sant Boi de Llobregat and El Prat, as well as the C-32 in Cornellà.
Public transport has also been heavily impacted, with Rodalies commuter trains running at reduced speeds. At Barcelona-Josep Tarradellas Airport, 44 flights were cancelled, and truck access to France via the AP-7 highway was restricted near Llers.
