Overview
- Spain’s AEMET issued a rare red warning for “extraordinary danger,” forecasting over 180 mm in 12 hours as Ibiza logged up to 254 mm in 24 hours and Formentera topped 100 mm.
- Emergency teams and the Military Emergency Unit were deployed for pumping and clearance, with schools and beaches closed and inspections continuing into Wednesday.
- Ibiza Airport suffered extensive leaks inside the terminal; operations mostly continued, though some flights were diverted and local media reported around a thousand missed departures due to road conditions.
- Regional authorities recorded 179 incidents on Ibiza and six on Formentera, including flooded roads and basements, fallen trees, hotel evacuations after a rockfall, and only light injuries reported.
- Major routes such as the E‑10 and E‑20 were shut and bus services suspended during the peak, as mass phone alerts urged people to avoid travel and move to higher levels if water entered homes.
