The Aemet Delegation anticipates that the heaviest showers will tend to be concentrated in specific time windows, with lesser spread, but very rapid accumulations are not ruled out.
En Ibiza, the operations have resolved the main incidents on the road network (such as the problems on the EI-800 towards the airport) and water pumping has been reinforced in basements, garages and roads, with the support of the EMU at the most sensitive points. People are asked to avoid unnecessary travel and exercise extreme caution in underpasses and torrents.
The forecast indicates that the rains may persist irregularly over the next few days, with periods of greater intensity, especially in the Pitiusas, before the situation stabilizes more clearly.
Catalonia: active emergencies and recovery underway

There are thousands of calls to 112, rescues and specific cuts on roads such as the C‑12 and secondary roads, as well as damage to roads and crops.
The Bombers and municipal teams are working on street drainage, debris removal, and infrastructure cleanup, supported by volunteer brigades. They have been deployed drones and heavy machinery to assess slopes and restore access to the recent floods, prioritizing the cores with the largest affectations.
The Mediterranean Corridor, the impact on the infrastructure between Ulldecona and L'Aldea forced a temporary halt to traffic while Adif Ballast replacement is being carried out, catenary and signaling are being inspected, and sections are safely reopened. Connections are gradually being normalized.
The Generalitat has announced first aid for municipalities and individuals, as well as lines of financing to repair infrastructure and support the agricultural sector, which is severely affected in areas of olive groves and citrus fruits where exceptional damage has been reported.

Towards the north, the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation keeps the mass surveillance due to sudden flooding in ravines and minor channels, due to the remaining instability and saturation of the ground. The importance of not crossing is recalled. floods, rills or low passes and follow official channels.
The reserve of the Ebro reservoirs stands at around 53%, above the average of the last five years, although below the previous year. The river basin agency insists on the need to coordinate the management of extreme episodes and the adaptation of infrastructure.
The scenario evolves towards a relative stability in large areas, but with active warnings in the Mediterranean arc, where intense, short-lived showers are not ruled out. The authorities maintain emergency and recovery measures, and urge caution while restore completely roads, railways and basic services.
