Spain weather warnings are issued by AEMET (Agencia Estatal de Meteorología) to alert the public and authorities of hazardous conditions such as heavy rain, snow, storms, or extreme heat. The live ranking above shows the latest alerts by region and severity.
What do Spain weather warning colours mean?
Spain uses a four-tier colour system similar to the UK: green (no risk), yellow (be aware), orange (be prepared) and red (take action). Orange or red warnings indicate a significant risk to life or property and often trigger school closures or travel disruption.
How can I check Spain weather warnings in real time?
You can view the official AEMET map or use the UK Met Office’s international warnings page for a consolidated view. For localised updates, the BBC Weather app also includes Spanish regions.
How often are Spain weather warnings updated?
AEMET updates warnings at least twice daily (around 10:00 and 21:00 local time), but can issue urgent updates for rapidly developing events like flash floods or severe storms.
What should I do if an orange warning is issued in Spain?
Avoid travel unless essential, stay indoors if possible, and monitor local news. Check your accommodation for emergency procedures and ensure you have supplies like water and a torch.
Do Spain weather warnings cover the Canary Islands?
Yes, AEMET issues warnings for all Spanish territory including the Canary Islands. The archipelago often faces separate alerts for calima (dust haze), heavy rain, or strong winds.
