This measure, common during intense wind episodes, aims to reduce risks for residents. The orange alert will be in effect in the Community of Madrid from 6:00 PM on Wednesday until 3:00 AM on Thursday, with winds potentially reaching 90 km/h.
As an additional precautionary measure, the Egido Park will be cordoned off throughout the day. However, Juan Carlos I Park will keep a corridor open to allow athletes normal access to its covered sports facilities.
The park closure will remain in effect as long as the alert persists. Citizens are advised to stay informed through official channels and follow the recommendations of the Local Police, Civil Guard, and PIMER Civil Protection of Pinto.
The City Council has also issued recommendations to exercise extreme caution, such as avoiding wooded areas and walking under unstable cornices, balconies, or walls. Objects like flower pots or other decorative items that could fall due to the wind should be removed from windows and balconies. It is also advised to increase safety distances and reduce speed while driving, avoiding unnecessary travel during the alert.
PIMER Civil Protection will reinforce its usual service with additional personnel to attend to any incidents that may occur during the day.
