Heavy rain is seriously disrupting mobility in Barcelona. Several metro stations have closed fully or partially due to water accumulation, while the Ronda de Dalt has also suffered flooding. It is advisable to check the status of transport before heading out.
Water has had a major impact on mobility in Barcelona this Tuesday. The heavy downpour has resulted in images of flooded streets, stations, and access points, forcing changes at various points in the transport network.
One of the areas especially affected has been Mundet, where the station was flooded.
Metro: closed stations and trains not stopping
The rain is causing incidents on several lines of the Barcelona metro.

L5: people have reported the closure of Hospital Clínic and Entença. At Diagonal, the Pau Claris entrance also remains closed.
L1: water accumulation has forced the temporary closure of the Rambla Just Oliveras platform towards Fondo. Trains are still running on the line, but are not stopping at that platform. TMB initially published a different direction and later corrected the information.
L3 – Mundet: the station also remains closed after being affected by water entering during the heavy downpour.
The situation may change quickly while the rain continues, so it is advisable to check the network status just before starting your journey.
Roads: water accumulation on the Ronda de Dalt
Problems have also affected traffic.
A section of the Ronda de Dalt has flooded after a large amount of water accumulated on the road, making driving much more difficult.
These incidents are happening during a day of heavy rain in Barcelona and its metropolitan area. Anyone needing to travel should check the status of their route before leaving, as closures and restrictions may change as the weather evolves.
