Storm Jana left between 30 and 60 liters of rainfall without significant incidents

Storm Jana left between 30 and 60 liters of rainfall across Catalonia on Sunday early morning, although no significant incidents were reported.

Municipalities such as Cerdanyola del Vallès registered 62 liters per square meter and 54 meters in Sant Feliu de Pallerols. Catalonia's meteorological agency recorded around 50 liters in Ascó, Albanyà, and Viladrau, all spread out across the territory.

The 112 emergency hotline received around 350 calls, most of which came from the Vallès Occidental county (77), followed by the 65 calls from the Barcelonès county and the 63 from the Vallès Oriental county.

Most of these calls were due to small floods, trees, and branches on the roads, and landslides.

Overall, since the rain episode started on March 6, there have been 207 liters per square meter registered in Beget, in the Ripollès. Authorities recorded 195 liters in Puig Sesolles, 189 in Natural Park dels Ports, 177 in Arbúcies, 172 in Viladrau, and 161 in Lliurona.

Meanwhile, Catalan civil protection is warning citizens about several reported increases in river flows on the Ter, Llobregat, Fluvià, Muga, Tordera, and Gaià rivers.

Danger thresholds were surpassed in Guardiola de Berguedà, with a river flow of 163 cubic meters per second. At around 2:30 pm, Ter river's  flow surpassed the 320 cubic meters per second.

"Avoid access to river banks, even if it is not raining, as the river flow can increase," the Catalan water agency (ACA) warned. Firefighters are checking several flood prone areas across Catalonia and have restricted access to several areas in the Alt Empordà county. The GI-542 road was blocked due to landslides in Osor, and the GIV-5232 roads due to floods in Tortellà, in the Garrotxa county.

"Some of the river flow is still increasing," ACA wrote on X, formerly Twitter, earlier on Sunday morning.

On Saturday, inland reservoirs stood at 31.6% with 219.7 hm3, while on Sunday, these stood at 34.4% and around 239 hm3. "These levels will continue to grow in the upcoming hours due to rainfall," ACA added.

The deputy director of civil protection, Imma Solé, told the Catalan public broadcaster TV3 that there "are no significant incidents, as the rainfall was spread across Catalonia as it was already forecasted, and we only reported intense rain in Terrassa, with around 20 liters in 30 minutes."

On the Pyrenees, there have been registries of 70 centimeters of snowfall in Ulldeter, and around 58 centimeters in Espot. Meanwhile, in Cerdanya, there were around 38 centimeters in Malniu, and 36 in the Cadí Nord-Prat d'Aguiló.

Storm Jana 

Storm Jana was named by Spain's State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) on Thursday as it became apparent the storm was going to hit the Iberian peninsula.

The agency warned on Friday of an episode of heavy rainfall and strong winds in the peninsula, predicting heavy rain throughout the weekend and Monday. The worst day, due to rain and wind, will be Saturday.
