Eastern Spain, particularly the Valencia region, faces heightened flood risks as officials close schools in anticipation of torrential rains. The national weather agency AEMET has issued an orange alert following severe flooding two weeks ago that resulted in 223 fatalities, primarily in Valencia. Local authorities are implementing clean-up operations to clear clogged streets and sewage systems, while urging remote work and minimal travel. Protests have erupted over government mismanagement, demonstrating public discontent. Classes are also suspended in parts of Catalonia and Andalusia as heavy rain threatens further disruptions.
