Spain is bracing for the impact of Storm Caetano, which has prompted orange alerts in several regions due to strong winds and rough seas.

The storm, named by the Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet), is causing significant disruptions, particularly in the north and east of the country.

Winds are expected to exceed 80 km/h, with some areas experiencing gusts over 100 km/h.

Coastal regions are warned of waves reaching up to five meters.

Authorities have advised residents to secure loose objects and avoid high-risk areas.

The storm is expected to bring heavy rain, especially in the Cantabrian region, with potential for snow in higher altitudes.

As Caetano moves closer to France, the weather is expected to remain turbulent, with temperatures dropping in the north.
