Overview
- Aemet says the episode of atmospheric instability will continue for several days and is likely to last at least until Wednesday or Thursday, keeping widespread showers and storms active across much of Spain.
- The heaviest and most persistent precipitation is forecast for the central and northern third of the peninsula, with particularly high accumulation risk in Extremadura, western Castilla‑La Mancha and around the Sistema Central.
- Aemet’s avisos map shows multiple regions under orange and yellow warnings for rain and storms, covering nine autonomous communities and signaling elevated risk of flooding and hazardous conditions.
- Officials warn some storms may become strong or very strong, producing rapid rainfall accumulations and hail that can trigger flash floods and damage crops and infrastructure in exposed areas.
- Forecast models point to a progressive stabilization by Friday, but short‑term convective unpredictability means local severe downpours may still occur and authorities urge people in flood‑prone zones to monitor updates and take precautions.
