Torrential Rains Cause Widespread Flooding in Catalonia

Two people were reported missing on Saturday following intense rainfall and flooding in Catalonia, northeastern Spain. Firefighters launched a search operation along the banks and mouth of the Foix River for the missing individuals near Cubelles, a town located about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Barcelona. According to Spain’s national weather agency, Aemet, approximately 10 cm (four inches) of rain fell in just a few hours near Barcelona. As a safety measure, Spain’s rail operator Renfe temporarily suspended train services across Catalonia on Saturday. In Barcelona, several roads were closed due to flooding, and one hospital was forced to turn away patients after floodwaters entered the facility. Both Catalonia and the neighbouring Aragon region were placed under a red "extreme risk" alert by Aemet, with forecasts warning of up to 60 litres of rainfall per square meter within a single hour.
