🚨 Breaking Weather Alert: Rare Red Warning in Spanish Holiday Hotspots! 🌧️
Heads up if you’re planning a sunny escape to Spain! Ibiza and Formentera are facing an extraordinary weather situation as Storm Gabrielle lashes the area with torrential rain. 🌊 Cars are submerged, flights disrupted, and even Ibiza Airport is battling floodwaters in its baggage area. Travellers and locals are urged to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary.
🌧️ Over 180mm of rain has been dumped in just 12 hours, and more is expected throughout the day. The national weather agency Aemet has issued a stern warning: “Extraordinary danger. There may be flooding and sudden rises in waterways.” This intense weather is set to continue until 4pm. 🚨
Elsewhere, Valencia is feeling the storm’s wrath too. 💧 The city of Gandía witnessed over 240 litres of rain per square metre, leading to flooded streets and garages. Some schools have advised parents against collecting their children until conditions improve. Roads are closed, and the vibrant life of these holiday spots stands at a standstill.
Back in the UK, brace yourselves for gusty winds and heavy rain this weekend as two tropical storms drift over the Atlantic. 🌬️ Stay safe and stay updated! You never know when these weather warnings might hit closer to home.
