Spain: Alert Level Raised in Mallorca as Storm Adam Threatens Heavy Rain

Spanish authorities on the island of Majorca have raised the alert level to red—the highest level of warning—from today, Sunday, until Monday morning.

Authorities warned that Storm “Adam,” which caused chaos on mainland Spain over the weekend with torrential rains, could hit Majorca with full force. A special alert with a high-pitched warning tone was also sent to all mobile phones in the region on Sunday evening.

The message issued by Civil Protection, which cited concerns about heavy rainfall, stated: “Avoid staying outdoors and in basements. As a precautionary measure, schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday.”
