Spain’s Valencia region on red alert for heavy rains
Storm Gabrielle, fueled by ex-hurricane remnants, may bring up to 300mm of rain in two days, heightening flood risks in Valencia and surrounding provinces, authorities warn.
- Spain's meteorological agency placed Valencia under red alert for heavy rains, warning of 'extraordinary danger' for Sunday and Monday, as stated by the Aemet weather agency and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
- Heavy rainfall caused significant flooding, with 57 litres of rain per square metre falling in just 35 minutes in Aldaia, leading to many rescues by firefighters.
- Schools, colleges, and public spaces in Valencia will close on Monday due to severe weather, as local residents received red alert warnings on their phones.
- Aemet warns that Monday and Tuesday will be the 'most adverse' days for conditions related to Storm Gabrielle, as Valencia recalls the devastating flooding that killed 235 people last year.
