Flood Threat Shifts East: Málaga Stabilizes as Red Alerts Hit Valencia and Murcia

Emergency agencies now focus on Murcia and Valencia following Málaga flooding.

Overview

  • Málaga deactivates weather alerts after a night of inundations and more than 300 incidents, as cleanup progresses following a Guadalhorce crest near 5.8 meters and peak totals around 130 l/m2 in 12 hours.
  • Authorities continue searching for three missing people in Andalusia, including two men in Alhaurín el Grande whose van was found downstream and a motorcyclist lost in a swollen arroyo in Íllora.
  • Aemet raises red warnings in Murcia’s Vega del Segura after torrential bursts near Abanilla and Fortuna delivered up to 65 mm in one hour, prompting multiple road closures and local safety measures.
  • Valencia activates a red alert on the southern coast, issues an Es-Alert to residents, and warns of 150–180 l/m2 with reported overflows in barrancos and a hydrological alert on the Segura.
  • Transport and services face knock-on disruption, with five Málaga commuter trains halted and 24 flights diverted, while eastern municipalities close parks and cancel events as storms intensify.
