A morning marked by inclement weather
The heavy rainfall that has fallen in Sitges during the morning has led to the suspension of several educational activities and the interruption of the railway service. Civil Protection issued a red alert in the early hours, which was later reclassified to a green alert, reflecting the improvement in the situation.
Schools closed and mobility affected
The Esteve Barrachina and Agnès de Sitges educational centers did not open their doors today, following the recommendations of the City Council. The first educational institution is located between two streams, which made it necessary to send a warning to families at 8 am. On the other hand, the Agnès school decided to close due to the difficulty of traveling for its teaching staff, most of whom come from other localities.
Rodalies interrupts service for technical reasons
The Rodalies service has suspended connections between Barcelona and Sant Vicenç de Calders shortly after 9 a.m., due to the effects of the rains that have affected the Baix Llobregat area. The company has not clarified the details about the technical problems or specified how long this outage will last.
Road closures and emergency services in action
At 10.30 am, the C-32a road was closed in Castelldefels, due to the large volume of accumulated water. The emergency services, including firefighters and police officers, have worked through the night to restore order in the Terramar area, which has been affected again by the floods. The Riera de Ribes, in addition, remains closed.
Reactivation of the alert and the community on alert
Civil Protection has reactivated the alert in Sitges at 10:30 a.m., valid for three hours, after a similar warning had already been issued yesterday afternoon. This situation has generated a community response with the collaboration of various services to ensure the safety of residents.
Summary of the impact of the rains
Yesterday, Sitges recorded heavy rain that left a cumulative 90 litres, keeping the Civil Protection alert active. The community continues to monitor the situation, with authorities working to restore normalcy and ensure everyone’s safety.
