Spain's Weather Agency Warns of Three Days of Rain and Storms
Listen to the story
Spain's national weather agency, Aemet, has announced three consecutive days of rain with storms across the country.
The agency has also pointed out which areas will see the most intense rainfall during this period.
The Comunitat Valenciana, a region on Spain's eastern coast, is expected to feel this weather change strongly.
This region has had an extended period of summer-like heat, but Aemet says that heatwave is now coming to an end.
According to the forecast, temperatures will drop and rain will arrive in the coming days.
Several towns in the Comunitat Valenciana are expected to be more affected than others by the rain and storms.
Aemet has not given full details about exact dates for every area, but it has warned residents to prepare.
Storms often bring strong winds, heavy rain, and thunder, which can create risks for people outdoors.
Weather agencies like Aemet regularly issue these kinds of warnings to help the public stay safe.
This change marks a shift in the season, as autumn weather patterns begin to replace the long summer heat.
Local authorities in the affected towns may issue additional safety advice as the storms approach.
People in the Comunitat Valenciana are being encouraged to follow official updates from Aemet in the coming days.
