Red Weather Warnings Grip Valencia and Castellón as Gabrielle’s Remnants Raise Flood Risk

Officials warn of torrential, long-lasting downpours driven by Gabrielle’s remnants.

Overview

  • AEMET keeps red alerts active for the Valencia coast and northern Castellón with guidance of up to 180 l/m² in 12 hours and locally torrential bursts.
  • Overnight storms dumped high totals, including roughly 151 l/m² at Suera and 57 l/m² in 35 minutes in Aldaia, where La Saleta overflowed but new barriers limited damage and evacuations.
  • Emergency services reinforced operations, with UME, firefighters, police, Guardia Civil and Protección Civil on alert and several vehicle rescues reported.
  • Authorities sent ES-Alert messages, suspended classes across dozens of municipalities, eased justice attendance via TSJCV, and urged telework where possible.
  • Transport and services adjusted operations, with Metrovalencia on a Saturday timetable, Renfe allowing ticket changes and reporting delays after line checks, and firms such as Ford and Consum curbing activity; heavier rain is forecast to intensify through Monday, especially around València city and northern Castellón.
