Spain’s weather warnings are issued by AEMET (the state meteorological agency) for rain, wind, snow, heat and coastal hazards. Check the live ranking above for current alerts, which are updated hourly and range from yellow (low risk) to red (extreme danger).
Which parts of Spain are most affected by weather warnings?
Warnings often focus on the Mediterranean coastline—especially Valencia, Catalonia and the Balearics—where heavy rain and storms are common in autumn. The Canary Islands see frequent wind and sea alerts, while inland areas like Madrid and Castile‑León may get snow or extreme heat warnings. For a detailed picture, see the Moderate Rainfall Warning page for UK comparisons.
What do the warning colours mean?
AEMET uses a four‑tier system: green (no risk), yellow (be aware), orange (be prepared) and red (take action). An orange warning means significant disruption is possible, while red warns of exceptional weather that poses a danger to life. UK travellers should check the UK weather hub before departure and refer to the live ranking above for real‑time Spanish alerts.
How can I check spain weather warnings tomorrow?
AEMET publishes a 72‑hour forecast with warning maps on its official website. For the next day’s outlook, look for “Predicción de avisos” under the warning section. Our live ranking above also shows tomorrow’s preliminary alerts.
What should I do if I’m in Spain during a red weather warning?
Follow local authorities’ instructions: avoid coastal areas, do not drive through floodwater, and stay indoors if possible. Check UK government travel advice for Spain for emergency contacts.
Are Spain weather warnings the same as Met Office warnings?
No – the Met Office issues warnings for the UK only, while AEMET handles Spain. However, both use a three‑tier colour system (yellow, amber/ orange, red). For Spanish alerts, always refer to AEMET directly.
