Civil Protection and Meteocat warn about the possible formation of a medic in Catalonia. Rain accumulations of more than 200 l/m² are expected in six hours, strong winds and risk of flooding during Saturday night and Sunday morning.

The Aneto glacier, the roof of the Pyrenees, has lost approximately two meters of thickness in 2026, according to researcher Ignacio López-Moreno, who points out that in the last two decades the annual loss was one meter, exceeding three meters in 2022 and 2023. Montaña Segura recommends from 2022 to use the alternative route of the Salterillo lake to avoid dangers in the Portillones, where black ice prevents the safe use of crampons. Experts such as Ixeia Vidaller highlight that in 41 years the glacierized area has decreased by 64.7% and the average length by 30.5 meters, attributing the decline to global warming and the degradation of permafrost, which also affects routes such as the classic Mont Blanc route.
The El Niño phenomenon has intensified to become a 'Superniño', generating temperature records in the central and eastern Pacific, affecting climate patterns globally with droughts in Asia, floods in America and possible impacts in Europe, while its relationship with anthropogenic climate change is debated.
