Rain storm in Spain: maximum alert in the Valencian Community, Catalonia, Murcia and Almería

Dana Adam has burst through the north of the peninsula this Saturday, and its interaction with another low pressure system in the southeast is leaving very heavy rains, with the risk of being torrential in Almería, Albacete, Murcia and the Catalan and Valencian coasts. The area of ​​El Ejido (Almería) is under red notice this afternoon due to accumulations of 60 liters per square meter in one hour. In other areas of eastern Almería, up to 100 liters per square meter can also accumulate in just 12 hours.

Albacete, Murcia and the coast of Barcelona and Tarragona are also under orange warning due to storms and heavy rainfall. Thus, in the coastal areas of Barcelona accumulations of 40 liters per square meter can be reached in one hour; in the Albacete area and the areas of Hellín and Almansa, 30 liters per square meter in one hour, so the afternoon is expected to be complicated in several parts of the Peninsula. In addition, storms can be in the form of hail in all these areas. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) warns of possible local flooding, especially in low areas, as well as sudden floods in streams and boulevards, especially in areas with soils already saturated by previous episodes of precipitation.
