Floods and wildfires continued to bring disruption to swathes of France and Spain on Monday after severe weather caused delays across the continent over the weekend.

A 55-year-old woman was found dead in her car in the Guingamp area of France on Monday morning, trapped on her way to work, the Côtes-d'Armor prefecture said.

Côtes-d'Armor, in the north west, remained on an orange alert, with the Plouha area experiencing more than 150mm of rainfall between 12pm Sunday and 6am Monday.

Bouches-du-Rhône, Marseille's department in the south east on France, was placed on yellow alert for rain and floods today as a Mediterranean storm swept through.

At least one person died in Spain's Catalonia on Sunday after much of the region was hit by torrential rains.
