Spain's State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has activated a red alert for the provinces of Valencia, Castellón and Tarragona ahead of forecast torrential rain starting at 6:00 p.m. this Thursday.
According to official forecasts, rainfall could reach up to 90 liters per square meter in just one hour, with accumulated totals of up to 250 liters per square meter over a 12-hour period in the worst-affected areas.
Given the risk of flash flooding, authorities in the three provinces have ordered the suspension of classes and various scheduled activities in areas under the red warning, the highest level in the weather alert system.
Advice for Residents
Emergency services have asked residents in the affected areas to avoid unnecessary travel, stay away from riverbeds and low-lying areas, and follow Civil Protection guidance during the hours of greatest risk.
The weather situation remains under close watch, as intense rainfall of this magnitude can trigger flash flooding in seasonal streams and ravines across the Mediterranean region.
