Overview

• Spain’s weather agency AEMET kept its highest warning in place for Ibiza and Formentera due to torrential rain and flash‑flood risk, while earlier red alerts in parts of Valencia were lowered.
• Ibiza saw streets turn into rivers, access roads to the airport and the city ring closed, power cuts reported, and multiple rescues as firefighters freed people from flooded cars and homes.
• Authorities sent mobile emergency alerts, closed schools and public facilities in affected areas, and advised tourists to postpone travel to the Pityuses; Valencia city had shut schools on Monday as a precaution.
• Transport disruptions included delayed Renfe services, reduced Metrovalencia operations and localized line closures, road shutdowns in several provinces, and flight delays on Mallorca and Ibiza.
• Reported totals reached 74 mm near Ibiza’s airport and 57 mm in 35 minutes in Aldaia near Valencia, with forecasts warning of further heavy bursts; no fatalities were reported, a relief in a region still scarred by the October 2024 floods that killed about 236 people.
