Overview
- Spain’s Aemet escalated Málaga to a red rain alert, pushed ES-Alert messages to phones, and forecast up to 120 liters per square meter in 12 hours, with a downgrade expected after 4 a.m. for the Costa del Sol and Guadalhorce areas.
- In Catalonia, Meteocat and Protecció Civil reported very high rainfall totals, river flows above danger thresholds, and ski closures at Vallter and Núria due to avalanche risk, with Osona surpassing 200 liters accumulated.
- Authorities in Catalonia confirmed evacuations in La Garrotxa and warned of renewed river rises in the Muga, Fluvià, Ter and Tordera basins as saturated soils funnel new rainfall directly into waterways.
- Argentina’s SMN kept orange and yellow storm alerts for several northern and central provinces, warning of frequent lightning, possible hail, gusts above 90 km/h, and intense short‑period downpours with locally heavy totals.
- A heat advisory remains in effect for the Buenos Aires metro area with highs near 34°C, while Jujuy stays under a yellow storm alert and Rosario saw its storm warning lifted after the rain bypassed the city.
