Spain Issues Extreme Weather Warning

People traveling to or already in certain parts of Spain have been warned about severe weather conditions.

The Spanish authorities responsible for civil protection and emergencies have posted a warning on social media about the bad weather expected in Barcelona and Girona.

Strong winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour are forecast for Sunday, between 5 am and 5 pm.

The warning covers the Girona Pyrenees and Barcelona Pre-Pyrenees areas, with advice to exercise extreme caution.

Mountainous areas are particularly risky, and visitors are advised to avoid high and exposed places due to the danger of avalanches caused by strong winds.

The warning emphasizes the need for caution and lists specific recommendations for different situations.

The affected areas include the Pyrenees in Girona and the Pre-Pyrenees in Barcelona.

The severe weather is expected to last from 5 am to 5 pm on Sunday.

Wind gusts could reach speeds of up to 140 kilometers per hour.

The authorities are urging everyone to be extremely careful and to follow their guidelines.

When in the mountains, it is crucial to avoid areas that are high up and exposed to strong winds.

Additionally, people are warned to be aware of the risk of snow accumulation, which can increase the danger of avalanches.

In urban areas, pedestrians should avoid walking under structures that could be damaged by strong winds, such as cornices, trees, scaffolding, cranes, or walls.

Homeowners are advised to secure any objects that could fall and cause accidents, and to keep doors and windows closed.

Drivers are warned to reduce their speed and to be extremely cautious, especially when driving larger vehicles or towing trailers, as these are more susceptible to being overturned by strong winds.
