AEMET issues warnings by zone when it expects weather that may endanger people or cause damage. The colour depends on how far a threshold set for each zone is exceeded; in the Valencia region the rain thresholds are among the highest in Spain because rain here is torrential. The regional 112 service (Emergency Coordination Centre) then sets the alert level that triggers the protocols of the city council and transport operators.
| Level | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow · be aware | Low risk: moderate damage possible, especially in exposed areas. From 20 l/m² in one hour or 60 in 12 hours. | Plan journeys along main roads, stay away from riverbeds and bridges and never drive through standing water or ravines. |
| Orange · be prepared | Significant risk: serious damage possible. From 40 l/m² in one hour or 100 in 12 hours. Parks, gardens and cemeteries close and outdoor events are suspended. | Avoid non-essential travel, stay somewhere safe, keep away from flood-prone areas and avoid basements and garages. |
| Red · take action | Extreme risk: very serious or catastrophic damage. From 90 l/m² in one hour or 180 in 12 hours. Schools and events are suspended, municipal museums and libraries close and public transport is reduced or stopped. | Do not travel unless strictly necessary, respect road closures and, if the water level rises, move to upper floors with water and warm clothing. |
This is what happened in recent episodes (September and October 2026), according to the protocols of the city council, the regional government and the operators. Every episode is different: the final decision is theirs and is announced on their official channels, linked below.
Our transport alerts page lists EMT and Cercanías disruptions as soon as they are published; the transport map shows real arrivals minute by minute.
ES-Alert is Civil Protection's mobile alert system: the regional government sends it to every phone in the affected area, with nothing to install and a loud tone even if the phone is on silent. During the red alert of 1 October 2026, three were sent to Castellón and Valencia.
The message sums up the essentials: avoid travel, stay away from riverbeds and ravines, respect road closures and, if the water level rises, move to upper floors. If you receive one as a visitor, do what residents do: stay at your accommodation or somewhere safe, do not go down to garages and follow the official channels (112 Comunitat Valenciana and AEMET) until the alert is lifted.
With a yellow warning or an ordinary rainy day the city carries on and there is plenty to do indoors. With orange or red, the sensible thing is to stay near your accommodation and move the plan to another day; under red, municipal museums and many venues also close.
It is AEMET's highest warning level: extraordinary danger, with very serious or catastrophic damage possible. In the Valencia region it starts at 90 l/m² in one hour or 180 in 12 hours. The regional 112 service then sets a red alert: classes and public events are suspended, parks, museums, libraries and municipal facilities close and public transport is reduced or stopped. Avoid any journey that is not essential.
It depends on the episode. During the red alert of 1 October 2026 Metrovalencia cut the service to roughly a Saturday timetable and asked people not to travel; Renfe suspended all Cercanías lines. Check the status on Metrovalencia's channels and on our transport alerts page.
The protocol of the city council and the Fallas central board suspends outdoor events under an orange rain alert and all public events under a red alert. The mascletàs and the cremà depend on each day's decision; under yellow they go ahead with precautions.
AEMET issues the weather warning (the forecast of the phenomenon and its level). The regional government, through its Emergency Coordination Centre (112), declares the Civil Protection alert that triggers the protocols of councils and operators, almost always with the same colour as AEMET's warning.
In September and October, when the torrential rain episodes (gota fría or dana) are concentrated. The rest of the year it rains little: about 460 mm a year over 44 rainy days. The month-by-month climate is on the page about when to visit.
We check AEMET every 10 minutes: the page is rebuilt as soon as a warning is issued or changed, and also when a warning starts or ends. AEMET reviews its warnings early morning, mid-morning, late afternoon and at 23:50, plus whenever the forecast changes. The issue time is shown next to each block.
Figures and timetables checked against these sources. If anything has changed, the official source prevails.
