The Catalan Meteorological Service has issued a widespread weather warning for Tarragona as Storm Regina intensifies, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the region.

Forecasters predict rainfall exceeding 20 liters per square meter in just 30 minutes. The yellow alert, which initially focused on southern areas like Montsià and Baix Ebre, now covers the entire province through Friday evening.
Coastal conditions remain hazardous, with waves expected to top 2.5 meters. Meanwhile, wind gusts in areas such as Tarragonès could reach 70 km/h. The INUNCAT emergency plan remains in pre-alert status due to the risk of local flooding and significant water accumulation in high-altitude zones.
Emergency services advise residents to exercise extreme caution, particularly when driving, and to stay away from coastal fronts and riverbeds. Storm Regina is expected to continue causing atmospheric instability across the territory for the next 48 hours.
