Storm Marta drifts north-east but Aemet maintains yellow alerts in 10 regions

Storm Marta drifts north-east but Aemet maintains yellow alerts in 10 regions
Spain’s national weather service, Aemet, downgraded most orange warnings to yellow on Sunday morning as Storm Marta edged into the Mediterranean, yet ten autonomous communities plus Melilla remain under advisories for wind, snow or rough seas.(elpais.com)

Andalusia, Castilla-León and Murcia saw their highest-risk alerts lifted, but new Atlantic systems are forecast to sweep in later tonight, prolonging unstable conditions through mid-week. The cumulative effect of back-to-back storms has raised landslide risk along saturated hillsides and could reignite transport disruptions on already fragile road and rail corridors.

Business travellers planning intra-Spain trips should build flexibility into itineraries, monitor airline and rail updates, and carry winter-weather kit if driving across mountain passes like Guadarrama or Manzanal. Ports in the Bay of Biscay may impose draft restrictions if wave heights exceed five metres.
