Overview
- Overnight torrents in Málaga triggered severe flooding as the Guadalhorce peaked at 5.80 meters in Cártama, forcing evacuations and rescues before alerts were downgraded as river levels began to fall.
- Emergency services recorded about 339 incidents across Andalucía—304 in Málaga—issued Es-Alert messages to 27 municipalities, activated local plans with Infoca support, and reported two people missing in Alhaurín el Grande.
- Transport was disrupted as five commuter trains were halted between Los Prados and Benalmádena and 24 Málaga-bound flights were diverted to Almería, Sevilla and Granada.
- Aemet raised Murcia’s Vega del Segura to red after torrential bursts—66 l/m2 in one hour at Abanilla—prompting multiple road closures and municipal safety measures.
- Valencia remains under orange warnings, with outdoor municipal events and parks closed as forecasts indicate 150–180 l/m2 in 12 hours and potentially very high hourly rates this afternoon.
