Authorities in Spain’s Andalucia region have elevated the rain warning to an orange level for parts of Almeria and Malaga provinces, as severe weather persists. The new warning, indicating significant danger, now includes the Valle del Almanzora and Los Velez areas in Almeria and the Antequera district in Malaga.
The upgraded alert was implemented at 8 p.m. on Thursday, September 17, replacing previous yellow warnings in these inland regions. Officials have advised residents to exercise caution and adhere to local emergency and weather advisories as heavy rainfall is expected to continue through the night.
The most intense rainfall conditions are concentrated in Almeria’s Levante area, where higher-level weather alerts were already in effect. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, urging the public to remain vigilant.
As the severe weather continues, residents in the affected areas are reminded to stay informed through official channels and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
