Torrential Rains Close Schools in Terres de l'Ebre and Castellón

Decisions on Tuesday classes hinge on updated forecasts.

Overview

  • Catalonia’s Education Department, coordinated with Protecció Civil, suspended all classes in Baix Ebre and Montsià, affecting about 25,000 students at roughly 100 schools.
  • In Castellón, multiple municipalities halted lessons, leaving 78,333 students at home, as the Valencian Education Department counts 536,851 students affected across the region.
  • Municipalities that canceled classes in Castellón include Castelló de la Plana, Vila-real, Vinaròs, Benicarló, Burriana, Benicàssim, Peñíscola and others.
  • Protecció Civil keeps the Inuncat flood plan active with an orange alert for Terres de l’Ebre, and the Govern says the heaviest rains have passed but urges caution.
  • Authorities say whether closures extend into Tuesday will depend on evolving risk assessments and forecast updates, particularly for the north of the province.
