Red Alerts Hold After Night of Torrential Rain in Valencia and Tarragona

Early alerts, school closures, barriers, reinforced crews limited damage so far, with forecasters warning of further intense rain.

Overview

  • AEMET maintains red warnings for the Valencian coast and southern Tarragona after overnight downpours, with the most severe phases expected through Monday.
  • Flooding hit Aldaia as the La Saleta ravine overflowed, inundating streets to roughly half a wheel’s height without evacuations as new floodgates curbed greater damage.
  • Rainfall totals spiked in parts of Castellón and Valencia, including Suera at 151.4 l/m2, Aín at 134.4, Aldaia at about 57 in 35 minutes, and Manises at 72.
  • Authorities sent ES‑Alert messages on Sunday, suspended classes in València and affected Tarragona areas, reinforced 112, UME and fire services, and kept Valencia’s municipal emergency measures in place.
  • Transport faced disruptions as Renfe’s C6 Cercanías line underwent overnight suspension before resuming around 07:00 with checks, and long‑distance services saw early delays, while local rescues and road incidents were reported.
