Listen to the story

Aemet is the weather agency in Spain.

Aemet has a new warning for Granada.

It says there will be 48 hours of strong rain.

The rain will also affect Granada city.

There was already bad weather this week.

A storm brought hail on the A-92 road.

Hail is small, hard balls of ice.

The storms also caused flooding in some places.

Flooding is when water covers dry land.

This bad weather comes from a DANA.

A DANA is a big storm system over Spain.

It brings heavy rain and strong wind.

The DANA is now leaving Andalusia.

Andalusia is a region in the south of Spain.

But it is still bringing rain on Friday.

Aemet gave a list of areas on alert.

People in Granada should be careful this weekend.

They should check the news for updates.
