Storm Laurence Leaves Two Dead in Spain as Authorities Brace for New Storm Martinho

The latest severe weather has caused fatalities, flooding, and evacuations in Andalusia, with more heavy rain and strong winds forecasted this week.

The bodies of Maria and Fernando, a couple swept away by floodwaters in Constantina, Andalusia, have been recovered, bringing the death toll from Storm Laurence to two.
Storm Laurence caused widespread flooding, disrupted transportation, and prompted evacuations in southern Spain, particularly in Seville and Cordoba.
Authorities are closely monitoring rivers like the Guadalquivir, which remains at risk of overflowing due to persistent rainfall.
A new storm, Martinho, is expected to bring more heavy rain and strong winds starting Thursday, marking the fourth storm in less than two weeks.
Recent heavy rainfall has significantly improved Spain's reservoir levels, alleviating a severe drought that has persisted since 2021.
