Torrential rain has returned unexpectedly to Barcelona and surrounding areas, forcing firefighters to rescue 13 people and causing widespread disruption across roads, railways, the Metro, and Barcelona-El Prat airport. Catalan president Salvador Illa said Monday’s episode had not been anticipated by meteorological models and had surpassed forecasts, as authorities issued fresh emergency alerts across some of the areas already badly affected by the weekend’s storms.
