What are the current weather warnings for Spain?

AEMET has activated yellow and amber warnings for persistent rainfall and thunderstorms in eastern Spain, particularly around Valencia, Catalonia, and the Balearics. Coastal areas face rough seas and strong winds. If you’re checking the weather in spain 10 days ahead, expect unsettled conditions to persist into midweek before a gradual improvement.

How do Spain’s warnings compare to UK alerts?

Unlike the Met Office’s colour-coded system, AEMET uses a similar three-tier scale (yellow, amber, red) but focuses more on localised flash flooding and coastal risks. For bad weather in spain this week, the main concern is travel disruption on roads and at airports, especially in the east. The spain weather warning today met office page often cross-references AEMET data for UK travellers.
