Severe weather / parks
Do not attempt to enter closed parks (Retiro and other large parks) or drive restricted mountain routes until authorities lift closures; falling trees and debris are hazards in high winds.
Local authorities closed major parks and mountain access roads during the recent storm event and wind warnings remain relevant to near-term outdoor safety.
Transit disruption
If you rely on EMT buses, check line status and consider alternate routes on 2026-02-15 around 13:45–15:15 to avoid delays caused by the announced demonstration.
EMT issued a schedule advisory listing specific lines and a time window for expected retentions and itinerary changes due to a demonstration on Avenida de la Albufera.
Medical readiness
Be prepared for possible localized strain on emergency medical services following a house fire in Aranjuez and a serious bus collision; carry basic first-aid items and have insurance/health information accessible.
Recent incidents include a house fire in Aranjuez with serious injuries and a bus collision in San Blas that required emergency transport to hospital.
