Storm Alice brings record rainfall and flash floods to Catalonia, Valencia, and Murcia, Spain. Storm Alice, a DANA-type low-pressure system, brought severe rainfall and flooding to eastern Spain between October 7 and 13, 2025, prompting red weather alerts across Alicante, Murcia, Valencia, and Catalonia. Rainfall exceeded 180 millimeters (7 inches) in parts of the Mediterranean coast, causing flash floods, widespread disruption, and extensive emergency operations, though no fatalities had been officially confirmed as of October 13. A cut-off upper low known as Storm Alice (DANA Alice) affected large parts of eastern Spain during the second week of October 2025. The event produced torrential rainfall, flash floods, and transport disruption across the coastal provinces of Alicante, Murcia, Valencia, and Catalonia, as well as the Balearic Islands. The system developed when cold upper-level air detached from the main westerly flow and stalled over the western Mediterranean. Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos (DANA) combined with warm, moisture-laden air from the sea, triggering persistent convective bands along the coast. AEMET bulletins described the rainfall as “muy fuertes y persistentes” — very strong and long-lasting — especially over the provinces of Alicante and Murcia. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) activated red weather alerts for extreme rainfall, warning of accumulations above 180 millimeters (7 inches) in 12 hours and localized intensities surpassing 100 millimeters (4 inches) in a single hour in southeastern regions. Forecast models indicated totals exceeding 250–300 millimeters (10–12 inches) over several days in the most exposed areas. According to AEMET and the Meteorological Service of Catalonia (Meteocat), several comarques in the Terres de l’Ebre area recorded over 40 millimeters (1.6 inches) in 30 minutes, with total accumulations locally surpassing 100 millimeters (4 inches) in 24 hours on Sunday. In the province of Alicante, the station at Pilar de la Horadada recorded 153 millimeters (6 inches) in one episode, among the highest verified totals reported publicly. A measuring station in nearby Mas de Barberans recorded almost 272 millimeters (11 inches) of rainfall over the weekend, according to Meteocat. Tarragona province was one of the hardest hit regions. On Sunday, October 12, Civil Protection Service (Protecció Civil) escalated INUNCAT to emergency phase for Montsià, Baix Ebre, Ribera d’Ebre, Baix Camp, and Terra Alta, citing active flooding and continued precipitation. Local authorities suspended classes in the most affected areas and urged residents to avoid riverbanks, underpasses, and low-lying zones.
