Overview

• The bodies of Maria and Fernando, a couple swept away by floodwaters in Constantina, Andalusia, have been recovered, bringing the death toll from Storm Laurence to two.
• Storm Laurence caused widespread flooding, disrupted transportation, and prompted evacuations in southern Spain, particularly in Seville and Cordoba.
• Authorities are closely monitoring rivers like the Guadalquivir, which remains at risk of overflowing due to persistent rainfall.
• A new storm, Martinho, is expected to bring more heavy rain and strong winds starting Thursday, marking the fourth storm in less than two weeks.
• Recent heavy rainfall has significantly improved Spain's reservoir levels, alleviating a severe drought that has persisted since 2021.
