Barcelona Activates Municipal Action Plan and Closes Parks Due to Windstorm Alert

Barcelona City Council (Ajuntament de Barcelona) has put the Municipal Action Plan for windstorms into alert phase as strong winds approach the city. To ensure public safety, the local Civil Protection authority (Protecció Civil municipal) has closed all parks and gardens. Residents and visitors should avoid these outdoor spaces while the alert is in effect and follow updates from city officials. The measure aims to prevent accidents caused by falling branches or debris during the windstorm. This is an important precaution by the city to minimize risks from adverse weather conditions that can suddenly intensify and affect daily life in Barcelona.
