A series of weather alerts have been issued in Andalucia as Storm Harry begins to be felt across much of the country.

A yellow warning is in place in the Axarquia and the coast of Granada from 6pm on Tuesday.

The alert from state weather agency Aemet is warning of strong winds from the northeast that could reach up to 70km/hr.

Elsewhere in Spain, a red alert has been issued in the Emporda region of Girona for torrential rain of more than 180 litres per square metre.

One person is missing from the area after being swept away in his car by flash floods.

The search for his vehicle was called off on Tuesday afternoon due to the conditions being ‘too dangerous’.

Authorities have urged residents to strictly follow Civil Protection advice and avoid unnecessary travel.

The storm’s impact is also being felt along the Atlantic coast. Forecasts of waves of up to nine metres and winds reaching 60km/hr have led the Xunta de Galicia to declare a red alert along the coast of the province of A Coruña for Wednesday.

An orange alert has also been extended across the entire Galician coastline for Tuesday.

Beyond Catalonia and Galicia, eight other autonomous communities remain under weather warnings for dangerous sea conditions, heavy rain, strong winds, snowfall and even avalanche risk.

Among those at orange level, indicating significant danger, are the Balearic Islands, the Valencian Community and the autonomous city of Melilla.

Emergency services across affected regions remain on high alert as Storm Harry continues to move across Spain, with authorities warning that conditions may worsen before they improve.
