Aemet issues a special warning in Spain for heavy rains and flooding.

Spain is coming to an end a weekend marked by the Indian summer , with temperatures rising as high as 10 degrees in some places. After a few days of calm, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has been forced to issue a special warning due to the "potentially dangerous" situation that has just reached the country.

The meteorological agency reports that the weather across the country is going to change radically. There will be "very heavy and persistent rains" that could lead to "possible flooding and flash floods" in several areas of the country. "A trough (a kind of tongue of cold air) in the middle and upper levels of the troposphere will cause increased instability . Along with the humid air, intense storms will form in the eastern and southern thirds of the Peninsula," it explains.

The Aemet (Mexico Agency for Meteorological Services) states that Monday, September 29th and Tuesday, September 30th are "the most adverse days of the episode" and speaks of "extraordinary danger." Therefore, it urges citizens to remain alert and exercise caution.

The Aemet (Spanish Meteorological Agency) reports that from the early hours of Monday, September 29, "locally strong or very strong, persistent thunderstorms are expected in the Valencian Community ." These, as the day progresses, will spread to inland areas of the southeast. "The greatest intensities and accumulations will be in the center and south of the region, and especially in the province of Valencia." The agency indicates that "storms of 250-300 mm could exceed these levels, with torrential intensities."

On the afternoon of Sunday, September 28, the Aemet (Mexico City State Agency) issued a red alert —extended until 12 noon this Monday—and Civil Protection sent the Es-Alert to Valencians . The decision was also made to suspend all classes as a preventive measure.

This autonomous community isn't the only one affected. The Aemet (Mexico City Meteorological Agency) reports that torrential rains will also be expected in Catalonia , especially in Tarragona , during Sunday afternoon and evening and Monday morning. "More than 180 mm of precipitation could accumulate in periods of less than six hours," it adds.

" The Balearic Islands are also likely to be affected by this episode, with locally strong or very strong thunderstorms, especially starting Monday afternoon, and on the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca," the agency states.

Aemet has activated the orange warning in Albacete and Cuenca during Sunday afternoon and the yellow warning in Ciudad Real .
