Spain's Weather Agency Warns of 48 Hours of Heavy Rain in Granada
Listen to the story
Aemet, Spain's national weather agency, has warned of 48 hours of intense rain in Granada.
The warning says the rainstorms will strongly affect the capital, Granada city.
This week, Granada has already seen difficult weather conditions.
A hailstorm hit the A-92 highway, causing dangerous driving conditions.
Several areas also suffered flooding caused by heavy storms.
The bad weather is linked to a weather system called a DANA.
A DANA is an isolated area of low pressure that brings intense rain.
This system has been moving across southern Spain, known as Andalusia.
Although the DANA is now weakening, it is still causing problems.
Aemet says these are the "last throes" of the storm system.
On Friday, several zones in Andalusia remain under rain alerts.
Aemet has published a list of the affected areas.
People living in Granada are advised to stay informed and careful.
Local authorities may issue extra safety advice if conditions worsen.
Residents should watch for updates from official weather sources.
This event shows how sudden storms can affect daily life in Spain.
The situation is expected to continue for the next two days.
