Aemet issues a special warning for heavy and persistent showers that will be concentrated in Catalonia and the Valencian Community

Spain's State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued a special warning for strong and persistent heavy rainfall and storms, with the severe weather expected to concentrate primarily in Catalonia and the Valencian Community.

In total, nine autonomous communities have been placed under weather alerts due to the incoming conditions. Five of these regions—Aragón, the Balearic Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, and the Valencian Community—face orange-level warnings for precipitation. Additionally, coastal areas in Galicia are under alerts for rough seas.

The severe weather follows the recent conclusion of the "veranillo de San Miguel" (St. Michael's little summer), marking a sharp seasonal shift toward cooler temperatures and increased humidity as autumn takes hold. Aemet estimates a 70% probability for the heaviest precipitation events.
