Spain braces for torrential rain as a new weather system reaches the Med coast

The storm is expected to bring flooding and travel chaos to the region

The Spanish weather agency AEMET has issued a red alert for the region of Alicante, warning of torrential rain and possible flooding. The storm is expected to hit the coast on Tuesday afternoon and bring with it heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds.

The storm is the result of a low-pressure system that is moving across the Mediterranean Sea. The system is expected to bring with it a large amount of moisture, which will result in heavy rain. The rain is expected to be accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, which could cause flooding and travel chaos.

The Spanish government has urged people in the affected areas to take precautions. The government has also advised people to stay indoors and avoid driving if possible.

The storm is expected to hit the coast on Tuesday afternoon and last until Wednesday. The rain is expected to be heaviest in the Alicante region, but other parts of the Mediterranean coast could also be affected.

The storm is the latest in a series of severe weather events to hit Spain in recent months. In October, a storm caused widespread flooding in the Valencia region, leaving thousands of people homeless.

The Spanish government has been criticized for its response to the recent storms. Some people have accused the government of not doing enough to help those affected by the storms.

The government has defended its response to the storms, saying that it is doing everything it can to help those affected. The government has also said that it is working to improve the country's infrastructure to make it more resilient to severe weather events.
