Latest news New storm warnings in parts of Spain

After the severe storms in Spain with at least 95 deaths, there is a threat of further rainfall. The weather service Aemet issued a flood warning for the entire province of Castellón, which is also part of the Mediterranean region of Valencia, which was hit hard by heavy rainfall on Tuesday. It had previously been spared from the "cold drop" weather phenomenon, which is now moving north-east.

"The storms are not over yet"

"The storms are not over yet", warned Spain's head of government Pedro Sánchez during a visit to Valencia. There, he assured people of the support of the central government in Madrid. In Valencia itself and the province of the same name alone, 92 of the 95 people confirmed dead so far have been recovered.

The government of the Balearic Islands called on the population, especially on the popular vacation islands of Mallorca and Menorca, to exercise the utmost caution in the coming days. The warning level there was orange, the second highest. Spain is facing a long weekend due to tomorrow's public holiday, which many Spaniards usually use to travel. However, Sánchez appealed to people in the affected provinces of Valencia and Castellón: "Stay at home!" It is important to heed the authorities' warnings and follow their recommendations, he added.
