Catalonia is grappling with severe weather as torrential rains, part of a DANA (isolated high-altitude depression), have caused widespread disruptions.

The region has been placed under a red alert, with significant flooding reported in Barcelona and Tarragona.

The heavy rains have led to the suspension of the Rodalies train service and the cancellation of numerous flights at El Prat Airport.

Roads and highways, including the AP7 and C32, have been inundated, causing major traffic disruptions.

The Generalitat has issued mobile alerts urging residents to avoid non-essential travel and stay away from rivers and streams.

Schools and universities have suspended classes, and emergency services are on high alert as the situation continues to evolve.
