Civil protection sent a warning of intense rain to residents of Barcelona, Garraf and Baix Llobregat in Catalonia on Monday, Spanish media reported. The Catalan meteorological service has issued several warnings of intense rain and risk of flooding.
The “Dana”, an isolated high-altitude depression that causes sudden and violent rains, is the cause of the floods that hit various regions of Spain last week, causing at least 217 deaths and the disappearance of many people.
Valencia and its surroundings were particularly affected. The city of Tarragona, near Barcelona, was hit by heavy rain which resulted in flooding on Sunday evening.
