Spain Prepares for Severe Weather as Another Storm Approaches the Mediterranean Coast

Spain's eastern and southern regions face new weather challenges following recent devastating floods.


Spain is on high alert as a new weather system threatens to bring heavy rain and low temperatures, marking just two weeks since the region faced catastrophic flooding. The meteorological agency Aemet has placed several areas, particularly in Valencia, Catalonia, Andalusia, and the Balearic Islands, under orange alert, signaling potentially dangerous conditions through Thursday. As residents grapple with the aftermath of the previous storm, preparations include suspending school and sports activities, and community services warning citizens via military vehicles equipped with loudspeakers.

Despite the renewed alert, weather experts anticipate this second "Dana" system will be less severe than the previous one that led to 222 confirmed deaths and significant damage. Dana systems occur when a low-pressure area is cut off from the main jet stream flow, resulting in prolonged heavy rain and potential flash floods. Authorities have urged residents to avoid areas with past flooding risks. Meanwhile, public officials, including King Felipe VI, are under increasing scrutiny as frustration mounts over perceived inadequate emergency responses following recent disasters. With predictions of up to 180 mm of rain in certain regions this week, local communities brace for more potential devastation while dealing with the ongoing repercussions of the last catastrophic weather event.
