Yellow Alert for Storms and Rain in Comunitat Valenciana
Spain's national weather agency, Aemet, has activated a yellow alert for storms and rain in the Comunitat Valenciana.
The alert applies to this Monday, when Aemet expects strong showers in several areas.
Some of these storms could be locally strong, bringing heavy rainfall in a short time.
Aemet has also warned about hail, which can fall during the storms and damage crops or property.
In addition, strong gusts of wind are expected, adding to the risk in affected areas.
The coastal area of Castellón is specifically under the yellow alert because of intense rain, hail and wind.
After this period of unstable weather, Aemet forecasts a drop in temperatures across the region.
This means the recent hot weather will give way to cooler conditions.
Authorities usually recommend caution during yellow alerts, especially near rivers, coasts and low-lying roads.
People are advised to follow official updates from Aemet as the situation may change.
