Overview

• Renfe suspended departures from Barcelona and Valencia until further notice after AEMET issued a red alert for torrential rain in southern Tarragona.
• The suspension covers 17 services between Barcelona Sants, Valencia Nord and Alicante, affecting more than 3,000 travelers, with free changes or cancellations and direct SMS or email notifications.
• Track flooding between Ulldecona and L'Aldea stopped rail circulation, and a lightning strike at 10:35 set a signal hut on fire, briefly halting two trains before they continued.
• Road closures on the AP-7 and N-340 near Amposta and Ulldecona stranded traffic, with officials reporting up to 2,000 vehicles stopped and many motorists sheltering in service areas.
• Catalan authorities raised the flood plan to emergency status, opened shelters for over 1,000 people in Montsià and ordered Monday school closures in five Tarragona counties.
