- Mobile phone warnings were pushed to residents and visitors, public transport was briefly halted, and Spain’s military emergency unit was deployed for pumping and cleanup.
- Power outages hit hundreds of customers after lightning strikes, including 576 households on Formentera and about 300 across Menorca, Ibiza and Mallorca, regional officials said.
- Rainfall totals reached about 119.6 liters per square meter on Ibiza with 60 liters in one hour at the airport, while Valencia’s Carcaixent logged 110 liters in an hour and streets flooded in multiple Mallorca towns.
- By Sunday flights largely resumed on the islands and some alerts were downgraded, but Catalonia’s Tarragona and the Ebro Delta faced the highest red warning as AEMET signaled further severe storms and a tornado risk.
