Incidents and emergencies in Spain, live
The Radar España map brings together traffic incidents, weather warnings, wildfires, earthquakes and the state of the power grid, from the official sources that publish them. They are in the Incidencias tab, with filters by type, and each one can be seen on the map.
Traffic
Accidents, roadworks, queues, closures and other road incidents. The DGT, Spain's traffic authority, publishes those for almost all of Spain; Catalonia and the Basque Country have their own traffic authorities, so incidents from the Catalan Traffic Service and from Open Data Euskadi (including Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Donostia/San Sebastián) are added.
Weather warnings
AEMET warnings for rain, wind, snow, heat, storms or coastal events, with their level (yellow, orange or red), the affected area and the period they are in force. If trains are running inside an area with a serious warning, the alert says so.
Wildfires
- Hotspots detected by NASA satellites (FIRMS). A hotspot is a possible fire, not a confirmation: it can also be agricultural burning or an industrial site.
- Burnt areas mapped by the European Forest Fire Information System (Copernicus EFFIS), as a semi-transparent layer.
- If there is a hotspot a few kilometres from running trains, an alert appears.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes from the National Geographic Institute (IGN) catalogue in and around Spain, with their magnitude and time. They are preliminary data that the IGN reviews later. Those above a certain magnitude raise an alert that says how many trains are running nearby.
International disasters
Alerts from the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) that affect Spain: floods, cyclones, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, as in the Canary Islands.
Power grid and blackouts
Peninsular electricity demand from Red Eléctrica, compared with its forecast. If it suddenly falls well below the forecast, Radar España raises an alert of a possible blackout or major outage. It is our own estimate from public data, not a warning from Red Eléctrica.
Transport notices
Renfe service notices (including cancelled Cercanías trains), the status of each Rodalies de Catalunya line and EMT Madrid notices. Trains, metro and buses are explained in live trains and metro, tram and bus.
Before you use it
Radar España is not an official website: it shows the data as its sources publish it, seconds to minutes late, and it does not replace civil protection or official warnings. In an emergency, call 112. Sources and licences are listed in the sources and licences page (in Spanish).
