Spain is on high alert as a new DANA (isolated high-altitude depression) brings torrential rains just weeks after a devastating storm claimed 223 lives.

The Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued red alerts for regions including Málaga and southern Tarragona, with severe weather expected to impact nine communities.

Schools have been closed, and non-urgent medical activities postponed in affected areas.

The storm is expected to bring over 120 liters of rain per square meter in 12 hours, raising fears of further flooding in already hard-hit areas.

Authorities are taking swift action to prevent a repeat of the recent disaster, emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change impacts.
