Storm Marta Threatens Spain and Portugal
Spain and Portugal are preparing for the arrival of Storm Marta, just days after experiencing widespread flooding caused by Storm Leonardo and, prior to that, storm Kristin. The Iberian Peninsula remains vulnerable as authorities issue warnings and mobilize resources to mitigate potential damage. The repeated storms highlight the increasing frequency of extreme weather events impacting the region.
Recent Storm Impacts: Leonardo and Kristin
Storm Leonardo resulted in at least one fatality in both Spain and Portugal, triggering meaningful disruptions to infrastructure and daily life. Hundreds of roads were rendered impassable, train services were suspended, and thousands were forced to evacuate their homes due to rising floodwaters.
