The Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (Aemet) issued official weather warnings in several regions of Spain on Saturday, 31 October 2026. They mainly concern heavy rain on the coast of Province of Valencia, along coastal stretches of the province of Almería including the Campo de Tabernas, on the coast of Province of Granada and in the north and north-east of the island of Mallorca. A yellow warning is in force for these areas, indicating possible weather-related hazards if conditions intensify locally.
According to Aemet, up to 20 litres of rain per square metre may fall within an hour in the affected areas. Such high rainfall rates over a short period can locally cause flooding on roads, traffic disruption and isolated landslides, particularly near the coast and in areas with favourable topography. Aemet recommends following its latest updates, as warning areas and time windows may change depending on how showers and thunderstorms develop.
At the same time, the agency is warning of dense fog in Castilla-La Mancha The affected area is La Mancha in the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo. Visibility there may temporarily fall to around 200 metres. Aemet expects the fog to gradually clear during the morning, but until then it remains a significant risk to road traffic.
Under Spain’s warning system, yellow indicates a low to moderate level of danger, with weather-related incidents possible. It is a signal for the public to keep a close eye on weather conditions and announcements from the relevant authorities, and to take care—for example, by adjusting driving to heavy rain or fog. Whether and where problems arise depends largely on the local intensity and duration of the rainfall and on visibility.
The current warnings are based on Aemet’s official warning map and statements issued on Saturday, as well as consistent reports by Spanish media identifying the affected regions and expected intensities. Aemet publishes updates to warning levels on an ongoing basis, using new observations and model runs.
