At least two fatalities have occurred in Barcelona and a third person remains unaccounted for following a deluge of rain across Catalonia. The region is grappling with flooded homes, hospitals, and transportation disruptions, as rivers swell to perilous levels. Emergency workers are currently searching for the missing individual in Pineda de Mar.
Catalan authorities have cautioned that the situation remains precarious, particularly in the northeastern part of the province. Barcelona experienced its wettest day in a record dating back to 1883, as torrential rain persisted. Restrictions from Saturday evening have since been lifted in 12 districts, but emergency measures remained in effect until 2pm on Sunday in several areas.
Despite the end of some restrictions, officials continue to urge vigilance, even in zones where limitations have been eased.
