Sunday 2nd March 2025 – Yellow · Heavy Rain (06:00-23:59)

From 6.00am on Saturday 1st March, there is a 40%-70% probability of heavy rain in our area with a potential accumulation rate of 60mm in 12 hours at times. The most significant hourly accumulations are expected during the central hours of the day, when they may reach 20 mm/h. The risk will remain valid until 11.59pm the same day.

What do the risk levels mean?

AEMET will issue a yellow warning when, although there is no risk to the general public, there is a risk for some specific activities, especially those outdoors, and advises that the public remains alert and stays informed of the most up-to-date weather forecasts. However, the issuance of such a warning does not mean that the situation will definitely happen but that there is an identifiable risk that it will do so.
