Severe weather caused by Storm Laurence has led to intense rainfall and high waves, resulting in flooding across various regions of Andalucía. Emergency services are actively searching for a missing couple in Constantina, whose vehicle was swept away by rising waters. The flooding has prompted evacuations across the affected areas, particularly in Málaga and Córdoba, where water levels in several rivers have reached dangerous heights.

The Junta de Andalucía has indicated that the maximum risk level has now been surpassed, with fourteen rivers still under red alert. Local authorities assure that the situation is expected to improve, although the region is braced for continued rainfall, particularly in south-western areas. Evacuations are underway in some municipalities as a safety precaution.

In Málaga, several neighbourhoods have been evacuated due to the overflow of the Guadalhorce and Campanillas rivers. Emergency services are on the ground, assisting residents, while schools in the area are facing closures. The local government is coordinating with emergency services to provide refuge for those displaced by the flooding.

As the situation continues to develop, train services have been suspended across various lines in Andalucía due to water accumulation on the tracks, alongside road closures affecting transport across the region. Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and adhere to safety warnings as recovery efforts are implemented.
