The weather in Spain will once again be the main focus this week. The Bruna low-pressure system keeps on this Monday, November 9, much of Spain under the threat of heavy rainfall. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued orange warnings for precipitation in some areas and AEMET recommends checking the update to the warnings before traveling and taking extra precautions in areas exposed to flooding.
The north of Cáceres and the south of Ávila concentrate the orange warnings for accumulations of up to 100 liters per square meter in twelve hours. The alert is scheduled until 09:59 of this Monday. From then on, the level drops to yellow, although rainfall will continue throughout the day.
In the south of Ávila, totals could reach between 200 and 300 liters per square meter over the entirety of the episode, not only this Monday. Monitoring also remains in other areas of Castilla y León: the Central System and the south of Salamanca have yellow warnings for rain, while Zamora has an alert at that level starting at 18:00.
Huelva and Sevilla, under warnings for heavy rain
In Huelva, the regions of Aracena, Andévalo and Condado and the coast have orange warnings for precipitation that can reach the equivalent of 30 liters per square meter in one hour. In Aracena, an accumulation of up to 80 liters in twelve hours is also expected, with the orange warning set to last until the end of Monday.
In the province of Sevilla, the orange level affects the Sierra Norte, where up to 80 liters per square meter in twelve hours are expected from 03:00 to 23:59. The Campiña sevillana has a yellow warning for rain and thunderstorms, with a forecast of up to 15 liters in one hour.
The Emergency Agency of Andalucía has recommended avoiding road travel when it is not essential. If you have to drive, it advises reducing speed, increasing the safety distance, and not crossing flooded areas or roads with pools of water.
Rain will continue over the next few days
The Bruna low-pressure system will bring precipitation across much of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. Rain will be especially heavy on the Atlantic side, with an impact on Galicia, the Galaico-Leonese massif, Extremadura, the Montes de Toledo, and the sierras of Cádiz and Málaga.
The episode can also be accompanied by storms and strong gusts of wind in certain areas. In the mountains of central and northern mainland Spain and on the Galician Atlantic coast, gusts are expected that could exceed 70 kilometers per hour in exposed areas.
The forecast for the weather in Spain indicates that on Tuesday 10 the entry of Atlantic fronts will continue, with especially heavy rainfall in the west of the Sistema Central and in the north of Extremadura. On Wednesday 11, instability will continue in much of the country, before possible gradual decreases in rainfall from Thursday.
Schedules and alert levels may change as the situation evolves. To know the situation in each area, it is necessary to consult the AEMET weather warnings map before making any trips.
