The extreme weather has heightened concerns among Spaniards, especially after torrential rains in the eastern Valencia region four months ago led to the worst natural disaster the country has seen in decades.
Many citizens have
criticized
local authorities for delays in declaring a state of emergency.
Juan Manuel Moreno, the governor of Andalusia, urged residents to exercise extreme caution as the situation remains critical.
In Seville, the capital of Andalusia, two people have been reported missing due to the floods. Meanwhile, authorities have preemptively evacuated 368 families in Málaga as a safety measure.
Meteorologists have warned that more heavy rain could hit parts of Spain in the coming days, increasing the risk of further flooding and damage.
Emergency teams remain on high alert as they work to contain the crisis and assist affected communities.

Spain to Deploy 500 More Troops to Battle Wildfires

Israa Farhan Spain is set to deploy an additional 500 soldiers to tackle raging wildfires as record-breaking heat continues to fuel blazes across the country. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced the move on Sunday, bringing the total number of military personnel fighting wildfires to more than 1,900. The reinforcements come as firefighters struggle to contain dozens of fires, particularly in Galicia, where parched forests have been burning for over a week. Regional leader Alfonso Rueda confirmed that firefighters are currently battling 12 major blazes near the city of Ourense. Authorities have ordered evacuations and imposed lockdowns in several areas as flames threaten homes and farmland. European allies are also expected to send aircraft to support Spain's firefighting operations. The Spanish Meteorological Agency warned that temperatures could soar to 45°C in some regions on Sunday, following Saturday's peak of 44.7°C in Córdoba. Officials said the risk of wildfires remains at an 'extremely high' level across much of the country. According to the EU's Forest Fire Information System, wildfires in Spain have already destroyed 158,000 hectares (390,000 acres) of land this year, an area nearly the size of Greater London. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
