Storm Jana has begun to weaken in Spain, but heavy rainfall, snowfall, and strong winds persist across various regions. Following extensive precipitation, multiple rivers have experienced significant flooding, prompting increased monitoring and flood vigilance. Although eleven autonomous communities were under alert earlier, the conditions have improved, and only seven areas now maintain weather warnings. These warnings include risks of strong waves along the coasts of Andalucía, Cataluña, Galicia, Murcia, Valencia, and the Canary Islands.

The storm, which has been battering the country since Friday, created several incidents, including wind gusts reaching 239 kilometres per hour in La Covatilla ski resort. Incidents related to flooding remain concentrated in the province of Segovia and are being closely monitored by the Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro to manage potential river surges. The Agency of Meteorology is tracking additional storms that may impact smaller waterways across northern Guadalajara, Navarra, Aragón, and Cataluña.

Local authorities have reported rescues due to flood risks, including over one hundred individuals saved from a restaurant in Soria. Moreover, seven people in Barcelona were evacuated after a wall and staircase collapsed due to the persistent downpour. Emergency protocols are in place, urging residents to stay away from flood-prone areas, while rivers like the Llobregat and Besòs begin to crest their limits.

As the storm dissipates, it is expected that rainfall will continue but be less severe, especially in the southwest quadrant of the country. The regional government of Castilla-La Mancha is also actively managing the impact of overflowing reservoirs, enhancing water discharge measures as precautionary actions to avoid downstream flooding in Toledo. Authorities remain vigilant as they monitor the unfolding situation across various regions of Spain.
