The Madrid Emergency Situation Department advised local residents to refrain from unnecessary travel, especially near rivers, heavy rains and possible floods. This is stated in the social network X service.
Thus, heavy rains have led to a temporary blockade of certain highways. "Avoid unnecessary changes," said the department. In addition, according to EFE news agency, classes in a number of local universities have been canceled due to bad weather conditions.
Due to unfavorable weather conditions, some Spanish ministries have also advised their employees to work on a day.
According to forecasts, the rains in Madrid will continue until March 23.
