Cáceres orange rain warning to 9 November, not Canaries

What does the orange warning mean for Fuerteventura?

The Diputación de Cáceres (the provincial council) reports the warning for the comarcas (districts) in the north of its province in Extremadura. Fuerteventura and the Canaries do not appear in the text.

The research found no warning for Fuerteventura on 8 or 9 November.

A forecast from the Met Office, the British weather service, showed sunny weather with no warnings for 5 to 9 November. It comes from a search and is no proof of the official picture, so anyone travelling should check the AEMET warning map.

When and where does the warning apply in Cáceres?

The AEMET warning starts at 21:00 on 8 November and ends at 09:59 on Monday 9 November 2026. According to the Diputación it covers the comarcas in the north of Cáceres province, and it names no individual municipalities.

The provincial council names the low-pressure system “Bruna” as the cause. We could not independently confirm that AEMET gave the system this name.

The notice gives no rainfall figures and does not mention wind. A weather site that mirrors AEMET data lists 100 mm of rain in 12 hours and up to 200 mm in 72 hours for northern Cáceres.

These figures are unchecked against the original AEMET page, which was unreachable at the time of research. The time window also differs there: the mirror site shows 21:00 to 23:59 on 8 November, probably only that day's window.

What do the authorities advise travellers in Extremadura?

The Diputación de Cáceres advises people not to cross watercourses and to avoid areas prone to flooding. Drivers should take extra care and follow the guidance of the emergency services.

For the orange warning of 4 October, the 112 Extremadura emergency centre gave further tips. People should not drive through flooded roads and should not park in dry riverbeds or on riverbanks.

Drains at home should be kept clear, and in an emergency the number is 112. The research found no road closures, other closures, damage or casualty figures for the current warning.

How often has Extremadura issued warnings this autumn?

On Sunday 4 October 2026, 112 Extremadura declared orange for northern Cáceres, from 16:00 to 22:00. It expected 30 mm of rain in one hour and in places up to 40 mm in 12 hours.

All three zones of Cáceres province except Tajo y Alagón were affected, as was the whole of Badajoz province. The 112 also expected thunderstorms with hail.

On 5 October AEMET issued orange for rain and thunderstorms in four zones of the province. In the north it applied from 17:00 to 23:59, with a probability of 40 to 70%.

This is a cluster within one autumn. It is not a proven multi-year trend.

How do weather warnings work in the Canaries?

In the Canaries, the Dirección General de Emergencias of the Gobierno de Canarias (the regional government's emergency directorate) declares the alert levels, such as pre-alert and alert. It relies on AEMET data and the special plan for adverse weather, known as PEFMA.

The regional plan can raise the level or change the area when the weather models change. In Extremadura, by contrast, 112 declares the alert levels, though the warning levels themselves also come from AEMET.

The official thresholds are in Annex 1 of AEMET's Meteoalerta plan, version of 31 May 2022. The research could not extract the values for Fuerteventura from it.

Reports from April 2025 gave yellow for Fuerteventura from 15 litres per square metre in one hour. That is not a general threshold, as other figures apply to other islands and to extreme events.

Which warnings has Fuerteventura had recently?

In July 2025 an orange heat warning applied, with temperatures above 37 degrees in the south of the island. In April 2025 there were yellow warnings for rain and thunderstorms.

In March 2026 Fuerteventura stayed at yellow while Tenerife had orange. In January 2026 Fuerteventura and Lanzarote had an orange sea-state warning, with waves of 5 to 6 metres.

According to the Diputación, the Cáceres warning ends at 09:59 on 9 November. It is not known whether AEMET will extend it; AEMET and 112 Extremadura publish the current situation.
