Barcelona is moving towards normality after a new exceptional meteorological episode. The phenomenon, caused by intense maritime activity, led to incidents in various locations and required the activation of emergency devices. Although weather conditions have improved, the City Council maintains the emergency phase of the Municipal Action Plan for drainage insufficiency risk.
Rainwater tanks played a crucial role in reducing the impact of the rainfall, filling up two and a half times their capacity over the weekend and helping to prevent flooding in sensitive areas.
Educational centers opened this morning with few incidents, although two had to suspend activities preventively. The Consorci d’Educació recommended suspending extracurricular activities in damaged centers to ensure safety.
Six family units were preemptively evacuated in the Font del Gos neighborhood, in Horta-Guinardó, due to the river's evolution. Emergency services are working to provide alternative housing resources.
Barcelona Firefighters managed nearly 1,900 incidents since Saturday, primarily related to floods, tree damage, and landslides. The Guardia Urbana registered over a hundred incidents concerning water accumulation and mobility disruptions.
The metro service continues with partial disruptions, while other public transport operates normally. 150 out of 173 municipal parks are now open, with inspections ongoing for the rest. Cleaning services are gradually resuming, with about 90% of collection services completed.
Most municipal facilities are functioning normally, including sports facilities, Tibidabo, and Bicing. The Dos de Maig social emergency center has reopened to support homeless individuals affected by the storm.
