Trains cancelled as Red Alert for storms issued in Catalonia

Severe weather warnings were issued across Spain as the country transitioned from summer to autumn. AEMET, Spain's meteorological agency, issued a red alert for parts of northern Catalonia, particularly Tarragona, where torrential rain, thunderstorms, and high-speed winds were expected. Up to 180 liters of rain could fall in three to six hours, creating a risk of flash flooding and rapidly rising rivers and streams.

Renfe, the national railway company, suspended several high-speed and medium-distance train services between Barcelona and Madrid as a precaution. Residents and travelers were advised to prepare for delays, disruptions, and possible flooding, as autumn weather had arrived in Catalonia.
