Overview

• Aemet activated maximum red warnings for parts of Valencia, Castellón and the south of Tarragona as the remnants of ex‑hurricane Gabrielle push persistent downpours across Spain’s east.
• Authorities sent ES‑Alert messages to mobile phones advising residents to move to higher ground in flood‑prone areas and to stay away from rivers, ramblas and barrancos.
• Overnight rains caused overflows of the Huerva in Zaragoza and the La Saleta barranco in Aldaia, prompted rescues and power cuts, led to multiple road closures reported by the DGT, and delayed Cercanías, Rodalies and some long‑distance Renfe trains.
• Classes were suspended in Valencia city and other municipalities, Valencia maintained emergency measures including facility closures and shelter openings, and the TSJCV issued dispensations for judicial personnel facing access difficulties.
• Emergency forces including the UME, firefighters, police and civil protection remained on watch with coordination meetings ongoing, while several mayors reported limited damage and functioning drainage networks even as vigilance continued; in a separate case in Argentina, Mirta Adela Herrera was found dead near her home and prosecutors ordered an autopsy.
