A feared red alert has been issued for Cadiz this week as storms and heavy downpours continue to wreak havoc across Andalucia.

The most serious warning, which means there is an extraordinary risk to life, is in place in the Grazalema region of Cadiz throughout Wednesday.

State weather agency Aemet is warning of up to 200 litres of rainfall in 24 hours, in what is threatening to cause serious flooding.

It comes after Cadiz last week saw 600 people evacuated from their homes while under an orange alert for rainfall.

Meanwhile, in Malaga, an orange warning is in place in the Ronda region for the entirety of Wednesday.

Aemet predicts more than 150 litres of rain could accumulate over the 24-hour period. Simultaneously, Ronda will be on a yellow warning for strong winds of up to 80km/hr.

Elsewhere in Cadiz on Wednesday, orange alerts for heavy rainfall cover the whole coastline, encompassing Cadiz city, Barbate and Algeciras – plus inland areas of Jerez and Arcos de la Frontera.

It comes after devastating floods in rural areas of Jerez last week saw hundreds of people evacuated from their homes after the Guadalete river burst its banks.

On the Costa del Sol, yellow warnings are in place for heavy rain and 80km/hr winds throughout Wednesday.

The same warnings are in place for the whole of Granada province, the southern half of Cordoba province and parts of Jaen province.

In Almeria, a yellow alert for heavy rain and 80km/hr winds is in effect along the western half of its coastline and in the Almanzora valley and Los Velez.
