Aemet Warns of Days of Heavy Rain as First Named DANA 'Alice' Targets Eastern Spain

Forecasters highlight significant track uncertainty that could shift the worst impacts along the Mediterranean coast.

Overview

  • Rain is forecast to begin Wednesday night in eastern Castilla-La Mancha and interior Valencia before spreading Thursday to coastal Catalonia, Valencia, Ibiza and Formentera, and later to Murcia and eastern Andalucía.
  • Aemet’s special warning extends through Sunday, with models indicating the southeast will likely see the most intense downpours on Friday and Saturday.
  • Yellow alerts for heavy rain are in place Wednesday for Albacete, Alicante, Castellón, Cuenca, Murcia, Teruel and Valencia.
  • An Atlantic trough with mid‑level cold air and a blocking anticyclone will drive moist easterly flow, concentrating high totals near Cape Nao and the Alicante coast with a risk of flash flooding.
  • Conditions are expected to stay largely stable elsewhere in Spain, while the Canary Islands contend with strong trade winds and coastal advisories.
