Powerful wind gusts this Thursday in Puigcerdà resulted in two trees falling on Schierbeck Avenue, leading to local disruptions in the capital of the Cerdanya region.

The Puigcerdà City Council noted that recent heavy rains combined with high winds increased the risk of trees uprooting. Local residents have been advised to stay cautious in open public spaces until weather conditions stabilize.
The Local Police, Generalitat Firefighters, and municipal crews worked together to clear the road. Final cleanup operations are expected to be completed by Friday morning to ensure public safety.
