MADRID: Spain’s national weather service on Tuesday downgraded its rain alert for the eastern region of Valencia, the site of deadly flooding in 2024, but issued its highest warning for the holiday islands of Ibiza and Formentera. AEMET said the alert level in Valencia was cut by two levels from red — its highest — to yellow, a day after torrential downpours forced schools across the region to close.

As much as 180mm of rainfall is expected to hit the holiday destination in a 12-hour window, Spain's meteorological agency says.
