Residents in Barcelona affected by recent wind gusts of over 100 km/h must provide official meteorological reports from Meteocat or AEMET to process their insurance claims.

Insurance companies in Catalonia typically require official data to verify that wind speeds exceeded the thresholds established in the policy, usually between 80 and 90 km/h. Reports can be requested through the official websites of the Meteorological Service of Catalonia.
It is recommended to wait a few days after the storm, such as the recent Nils windstorm, to ensure that all data from the February episode has been validated and is ready for official certification.
