112 Extremadura has extended warnings of heavy rain and thunderstorms in several areas of the autonomous community until 10 am on Monday, 9 November 2026. The areas affected are mainly the north of the province of Cáceres as well as the comarcas of Villuercas and Montánchez and parts of the south of the province of Badajoz. The decision was announced on Sunday and is based on updated forecasts from the national weather agency.
According to Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET), heavy rain and thundery showers remain likely in the areas mentioned. Large amounts of rain may fall locally in a short time, causing surface run-off, overloaded drainage systems and localised flooding. Yellow and, in some places, orange warnings apply at different times; AEMET is continually updating their precise geographical coverage.
The emergency and rescue services in Extremadura warn that weather conditions can change rapidly during individual storm cells. 112 Extremadura recommends that town councils and emergency services check drains, channels and road gullies, review their readiness and maintain public information channels. There is no general evacuation order; measures are taken locally according to conditions.
The Ministry of the Interior and Protección Civil had already warned in nationwide notices of a spell of bad weather in November that could affect various parts of the peninsula. The current situation in Extremadura is the extension of regional warnings until Monday morning. On Sunday, the service had no consolidated figures for damage, flooded roads or emergency call-outs in Extremadura. 112 Extremadura said it would update situation reports and warnings as needed.
Residents in the affected areas should follow official notices from 112 Extremadura and updates from AEMET, and heed guidance from their local town councils. Recommendations include driving carefully, avoiding underpasses and dips during heavy rain, securing loose objects outdoors, and keeping away from riverbeds and flash floods in dry ravines. Anyone planning to travel in the coming hours should check traffic conditions and possible weather-related road closures in advance.
The extended warning remains in force until 10 am on Monday, 9 November 2026. Further steps will be decided afterwards on the basis of new observations and forecasts.
