Overview
- Overnight downpours triggered local flooding and rescues, including the overflow of the La Saleta ravine in Aldaia after about 57 l/m² fell in roughly 35 minutes and station totals in Suera topped 150 l/m² by early morning.
- AEMET keeps red warnings active for coastal Valencia and parts of Castellón and southern Tarragona, forecasting up to 180 l/m² in 12 hours and locally 250–300 mm over the episode with risk of flash floods.
- Authorities sent a mass Es‑Alert on Sunday at 15:28 with clear safety instructions, suspended classes across Valencia city and other municipalities, opened emergency centers, and encouraged telework.
- Rail and municipal services face disruptions, with Cercanías and long‑distance trains affected, Valencia maintaining closures of schools, sports facilities and libraries, and critical drainage points and barrancos under watch after a nighttime acequia overflow in La Torre was cleared.
- Officials warn the most intense phase is expected through Monday into Tuesday, and urge people to avoid travel and follow official guidance as models highlight Valencia’s metro area and the north of Castellón as the hotspots.
