Canary Islands on Alert as Storm Bruna Threatens Flooding and 90km/h Winds
AEMET said some areas could get up to 200 litres of rain in 72 hours as the storm brings flooding and 90 km/h gusts.
- The State Meteorological Agency issued orange and yellow warnings on Monday, November 9, 2026, as Storm Bruna approaches the Spanish mainland with heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds.
- Western regions including Andalucia and Extremadura face the heaviest downpours, with accumulations potentially reaching 120 to 150 litres per square metre as the system moves inland from the Atlantic.
- Gusts could exceed 100km/h in northern mountain locations, while waves reaching up to six metres along the western Galician coastline prompted authorities to warn against exposed seaside activities.
- Civil Protection officials advised residents to reduce driving speeds and avoid flood-prone areas, warning that intense rainfall could cause sudden rises in water levels in normally dry channels.
- Unsettled conditions are expected to persist until at least Wednesday, November 11, while meteorologists warn a separate deep, powerful autumnal storm will likely impact the peninsula early next week.
