More than 150 incidents were dealt with in Alicante after strong winds affected the city overnight and during Saturday, according to the city council. Gusts reached 68 km/h at the Ciudad Jardín weather station and 82 km/h at Miguel Hernández Airport. Despite the scale of the disruption, no injuries were reported.

Local Police and Fire Service crews, supported by parks, cleaning and maintenance teams, responded to fallen trees, damaged awnings, streetlights and signage. Among the most serious incidents was the collapse of part of the roof at a supermarket car park near the Divina Pastora neighbourhood.

Mayor Luis Barcala convened the Local Operational Coordination Centre to assess the situation and maintain preventative measures. These included closing parks and gardens, cancelling markets, shutting tourist and sports facilities, suspending outdoor school activities and banning swimming at beaches.

Residents were urged to limit non-essential travel and avoid areas with large trees until the weather improved. Emergency accommodation for people sleeping rough remained open during the worst of the conditions, providing shelter from the strong winds.
